Trouble is to do a good job you need a good tube bender with a set of formers for each diameter tube you want to bend. Generally a pair of formers cost nearly as much as the machine; which is why I haven't bought one yet.

We bought a Clark I think it was. Used it to make a whole new parlour manger set up with scaff pole. Did a sterling job.

3mm tube bends the best for us any thinner it buckles or crushes I just fear the clark will not have enough power for 3mm tube

This didn’t have a problem with 4mm scaffold, would bend thicker than this too I reckon.

I have the Clarke bender, seems OK for occasional use. Bent plenty of scaffold tube with mine.

I've got a Sealy pipe bender that is over 10 years old and has bent more pipe than I could tell you. Quality wise it will do the job and for a few hundred quid I can't fault it.
