I found a few 1 1/2" pipes at my sister's backyard and i'm wondering if there's a hand bender for that size? any info will be helpful!

1 1/2" pipes have some corresponding hand benders for them but they're actually quite ginormous and aren't cheap. I guess use a hydraulic bender instead?
 
Are those steel or aluminum pipes? For 1 1/2", you'll likely need a heavy-duty hand bender or hydraulic one, what kind of bends are you planning to do?
 
Looks like you've stumbled upon some cool stuff in your sister's yard! For 1 1/2" pipe, you can find hand benders, but they tend to be really big, heavy, and expensive. Most people usually opt for hydraulic benders at that size. Just wondering, are they made of steel, aluminum, or something different? And what type of bends are you planning to make, tight offsets or wide, sweeping curves?
