The Ghost

Just got this for £20.00 pleased as punch. Had to put in former, roller and stop but had them anyway so no cost. In fact I got those for a tenner from another place a while back so have a fairly functional pipe bender and Hilmor! Just ordered a new pipe vice and couple of bits and it'll be good as (thats me being pleased as punch) new.

Yeh thinking about that and the hilmor colour and maybe getting it shot blasted and enamelled, not too sure at the moment.
 
That's his ironing board and the vice is to get his collars real stiff!
Watch out Vorti, yer teeth are fallin'oot
It's the aloe vera I feel sorry for - talk about personal space!
 
in the pot... is that a cactus or a cannabis plant on steroids?
 
If you undo it the screw comes out of the anvil the anvil doesn't raise up with it.
plant on steroids
Yep its Aloe Vera we use it quite a lot but you're supposed to be looking at the Hilmor
3/4" former
Yeh in fact this one did, thats it at the bottom with the 25mm former.
Good point about less damage @westward10 I haven't yet made any marks with my other hilmor which has a brand new vise, but then I don't tighten up past what is necassary.
I was doing an installation recently involving galv, and had a wry smile at some other units doing the same. They had to tell the client they would have to use plastic conduit as they can't get the wires through:p, and instead of bending they used 90 degree bends to screw into, no wonder they could not get the wires through.

This can occur,when lads who have been installing sprinkler systems,do a short course,and change careers...;)
