Looking for a tube bender simliar to these. Can anyone recommend an Aussie manufacturer, supplier etc so I dont have to wait a month for it to get here and I dont have to pay more than the bender costs for shipping. Cheers

Soon enough there'll be an industrial province in China called 'Australia' so it will be 'Made in Australia', just as their is a 'Melbourne' in India now for the telemarketers. :D

What you need to bend?

China ones are better.

Reason being, the machine doesn't try to smash the tube into your face after you've bent it, like the Australian ones do.

USA ones are the go but like you said the postage ended up being twice what the machine was.... Let me know what you need to bend up and I'll probably be able to help out

thanks, but its probably easier to get my own. have a fair bit of work to do with it.

bender will mainly be used for fabricating roll cages.
