Between us, we have bought several PE bending tools, some poor, and some superb. At the moment, we are using both the Hold-n-Fold and the Flip-R.

The Hold-n-Fold is a very high quality PE bending tool which comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, but unfortunately are a little expensive. I bought the 5.5inch Hold-n-Fold from Cammett, and it is superbly made. The tool is finely machined in what looks like some combo of aluminium and steel, and the top side can be removed and turned around in order to accommodate all the amazing shapes that exist so you may bend some quite exotic shapes.

The 5.5 Hold-n-Fold

The only real pain in the rear with this tool is that it doesn't come with a set of rolling rods so you can make use of those fancy curved areas. Those are separate, and again, expensive.It does come with a long blade which you use to fold against the longest straight edge of the tool. Pity it's not got a small recess for the blade edge to seat into while the fold it made, bt we can't have it all ways!

This is a robust tool, and despite its cost, worth every penny. If your finances are a little constrained, go the the 'Bug' version of this tool.
