Default Bench Rollers

I seem to have injured my right arm, and I now need to get a bench roller to do large spheres at least until it heals. Can anyone recommend one to me? I see there are several different types and makers out there, so any input is appreciated. I don't have the time or tools to put one together myself or I would do that. Thanks for your help.

i dont know what mind is called..I'm confident I got it from ABR on sale. but it's base is very heavy with non slip feet and i can adjust the height with the twist of a wing nut. I'd say that those are the most important qualities to look out for. solid base and adjustable height

here is a link to it:

I got that one too and it dose the job good. only twist i would say is get two. you can set them both on one side at the same height to support all the weight when breaking down big tubes or one on both sides of the torch for doing vac stack tube pulls.

I paid for 2 of these on 13th June 2012 and after more than a week, they told me it was OOS and would be available after 3 weeks.

It's a tad more than 3 weeks and several emails and I have not heard from anyone there.
Does anyone have any dealings with this company and how professional/unprofessional are they as a supplier?

TIA

On sale for $29 is a STEAL. I can't make one for that price.

The postage (to Australia) cost more than two sets but I need them, so hopefully they will be worth the process.
