1. A pipe bender alignment assembly for facilitating a pipe to be precisely oriented in a pipe bender, said assembly comprising:
a sleeve being positionable around a pipe;
a plurality of laser mounts, each of said plurality of laser mounts being attached to and extending outwardly from said sleeve;
a plurality of laser emitters, each of said plurality of laser emitters being mounted to a respective one of said plurality of laser mounts wherein each of said plurality of laser emitters is configured to emit a beam of laser light outwardly from said sleeve, said sleeve being rotatable on said pipe thereby facilitating a respective one of said plurality of laser emitters to be aligned with an alignment mark on a pipe bender wherein said beam of laser light emitted from said respective laser light emitter is configured to visually indicate that the pipe is precisely located in the pipe bender for accurately bending the pipe; and
a magnet being integrated into said sleeve, said magnet magnetically engaging the pipe for retaining said sleeve at a particular angle of rotating on the pipe wherein said magnet is configured to assist with aligning the beam of laser light with the alignment mark on the pipe bender.
