RIDGID 370 Bender

[solutions]

Anyone any experience using a RIDGID 370 Bender?

Looks interesting , can see bending 28mm in a had bender might be fun. No guides by looks of it?

I could only find it up to 22mm ?

Very nice bender. But:

a. I believe its obsolete and very difficult to get spares for. I've tried getting new screws for the pipe clamps for mine, but no-one in the UK has any and Ridgid US say its not made any more. Same applies to the guides, which are apparently a special plastic.

b. You really need to use it in a vice, as its very heavy to use hand held, although just about feasible.

c. I'm pretty sure it only does 12, 15, 16, 18 an 22 mm. Being Ridgid its really aimed at the US market, so primarily imperial.

d. If you want a perfect, ripple free, 180 degree bend in 22mm its the one to go for.
