Pipe benders are tools that are used to bend pipes, typically made of metal or plastic, to a desired shape or angle. There are several types of pipe benders available, including hand benders, mini benders, ratchet benders, and electro-hydraulic benders.
Standard plumbing hand benders are manual tools that are used to bend pipes by hand. These benders come in different sizes, including 15mm and 22mm, to accommodate different pipe sizes. Hand benders are typically used for small jobs or for making minor adjustments to pipes.
Mini benders are smaller, portable versions of hand benders. They are ideal for working in tight spaces or for making small bends in pipes.
Ratchet benders are similar to hand benders, but they use a ratcheting mechanism to provide more leverage and make bending pipes easier. These benders are typically more efficient and can handle larger pipe sizes than hand benders.
Cordless Rothenberger Robend 4000 E is an electro-hydraulic pipe bender that is powered by a battery. It is a portable, lightweight bender that is ideal for use on construction sites or in other areas where a power outlet is not available.
Electro-hydraulic pipe benders use a combination of electricity and hydraulics to bend pipes. These benders are typically more powerful and efficient than manual benders, and they can handle larger pipe sizes and thicker materials.

Rothenberger is a well-known brand that produces a range of pipe benders, including manual, mini, and electro-hydraulic benders.
