VEVOR Pipe Tube Bender, 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" OD, 3 in 1 Manual Level Tube Bender, 180° Copper Aluminum Pipes Bending Tools for HVAC Air Conditioning

I bought this tool for my first metalworking project – building a cargo rack for my motorcycle. On my first try, I skipped the manual (who reads it anyway) and ruined a piece of pipe. But after that quick lesson, my second attempt went perfectly.I used it to bend 1/2" x 1/16" steel tubing, which is probably at the upper limit of what this tool is designed for. Still, it handled the job with ease and bent the tubing with impressive precision.For the price, this tool is an absolute steal. It delivers great performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommended for any DIYer or beginner getting into metalwork!

Works as expected. If you jackleg or professionally install new technology mini split a/c units, you’ll need this bend tool. Cheaper, heavier made, fits all sizes you need.

seems mediocre, have not used it much to report if normal durability

great

I purchased this for use on various lines, but primarily steel hydraulic line, stainless line, and occasion copper/nickel brake and fuel lines. This unit functions very well, with comparable results to the higher-priced competitors. The radius and diameter markings printed on the tool handles are accurate and help to simplify calculations for complex bends. I have had no issues with kinking or crushing of the tube, regardless of the tube material used, and am quite happy with this tool. The long handles also make the work much easier than many smaller units, a big deal when working on stainless hydraulic/pneumatic lines.

This tubing bender was not cheap. I was using this to bend 1/2" stainless thin-wall fuel line. On the third bend, the tube clamp hook broke in two. Upon further examination, it appears that this critical small part is only made of cast aluminum, instead of steel, which would explain how fragile it was.The tool is now useless.I cannot recommend this tool to anyone, and I suggest you spend a few more dollars and purchase a higher quality tubing bender which is more rugged and durable. What makes this worse is that the first use for this happened 6-weeks after I purchased it, so it is outside Amazon's return window...

Quality is Good

used this to bend 1/2" copper tubing, worked well with 1.5" radius bends
