Mini pipe bender
The mini pipe bender bends smaller pipes than can be bent with a double pipe bender. It has three built-in formers that are permanently attached to the bender and are not interchangeable like other benders. | |
Mini pipe bender dimensions | |
The pipe size is measured by the outside diameter of the pipe. | |
The mini pipe bender has three slots for 6 mm (0.23 inch), 8 mm (0.3 inch) and 10 mm (0.4 inch) pipes. | |
Micro pipe bender | |
There is another version of the mini pipe bender, the micro pipe bender, which is even smaller and bends thinner pipes often used in electrical systems. Because it is so small, it can only be used with one hand, as pipes do not require much force to bend. | |
The micro pipe bender, like the mini pipe bender, has three built-in grooves. These slots accommodate 3 mm (0.11 in.), 4 mm (0.15 in.) and 6 mm (0.23 in.) pipes. |
