Plastic pipe bender and end socket former

A pipe bender for bending plastic pipes of various diameters and lengths, comprising:

• two arms hingably connected together for pivoting,
• a protractor scale attached between said arms for indicating the angle between said arms,
• a pair of clamping means slidably attached to said arms, said clamping means being spaced apart and being adjustable in spacing so that various lengths of said plastic pipe may be axially clamped therebetween, and so that when said plastic pipe is heated and clamped between said clamping means, said arms may be pivoted to a desired angle to bend said plastic pipe to any desired angle,
• socket forming means attached to said clamping means for forming integral pipe-connecting sockets at the ends of said plastic pipe,
• and means for laterally offsetting each of said clamping means for forming irregular bends in said plastic pipe clamped in said clamping means.
