RIDGID 600 3/8" Pipe Benders

I was working with complex precision bends with 3/8" copper pipe, and the generic cheap benders were far from adequate, causing compression, or deformation through the bends. I bought these on the basis of the reputation of the brand Ridgid , what can I say, WOW, these are world's apart from the cheap unbranded products, admittedly, perhaps a little inconvenient needing a separate bender for each pipe/tube size, however, these are a precision product, and more than fit for purpose across a wide material range.

Compared to Swagelok tube bender

I bend stainless tubing for precision instrumentation applications, specialty gas manufacturing and cryogenic applications. I've used Swagelok benders forever but needed an alternative for a few reasons. Ridgid allows more room for back to back bends the way the lock shoe and taper of the bend shoe are cut, this is the best feature for me. Also, the Swagelok benders are secretly made of gold, or they think they are. The fit and finish is a tad tighter with Swagelok, but not worth the extreme extra money. I use ridgid benders in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2, and have done .083 in half on ridgid. However I have to switch back to Swagelok when I do 1/2 .095. Please make a 5/8 and 3/4 in this series!!!

Bends are good but the pipe often gets badly miss

I've used rigid benders for working and they generally work good but I have the standard metal ones for the rest and this model for my 1/2" copper tubing. It squeezes the copper to a point in the bend and my customers have sent it back. I need rigid benders because of the radius they give but I've had to decline 1/2" pipe jobs because of this flaw.
