Peter Stenabaugh –
This is a very well manufactured tool. Note that the handles are not 16″ long, they are shorter but that is just a note carried over by mistake from the heavier benders. These tools work beautifully, they leave no scratches on the tubing, which is the whole point of using this type of bender. At this price, the tool is a very good value. This line of benders by Rigid, is equivalent to the bender line offered by Swaglok, but at about 1/3 of the price. Swaglok’s tools are extremely overpriced, for the same tool.
