Ring Bender Recommendation - Jewelry Discussion - Ganoksin Orchid Jewelry Forum Community for Jewelers and Metalsmiths

Hi everyone, I searched and didn’t find anything recent on this topic. I am looking at purchasing the Durston 11 piece ring shank bender with nylon dies or the Pepe Superior Ring Bending Tool. They both operate very similarly and both come with metal and plastic dies. The pepe with Delrin and the Durston with nylon. I am pretty tired of wrestling with thicker ring stock, so a different pliers is not a good option. What are your thoughts on these two ring benders? Thanks much.
