Customer Reviews for Manual Tube Bender Kit 7 Heads 1/4" to 7/8" Multi-function Ratchet Tube Bender 90 Degrees

all around good tool, I needed for installing line set, read reviews and researched, some said it kinked lines so I experimented with various techniques and its all about he copper line, heated the 7/8" copper up to anneal it and then bent it and no kinks!

Had to have it for the 90 degree bends on a 1/2 tube.

First, for the money, I really have no complaints. It does actually make very nice bends in tubing up to size 7/8"However there are a couple of annoyances that could be addressed to make this a world-class tool instead of a "really good" tool.* The pressing block (the curved part) tends to fall off. There's a little spring (maybe?) but it's not up to the task.* The handles are too short, and don't give enough leverage. Either the gearing needs to be changed to require more handle pumps, or the handles need to be longer. It took two hands and everything I had to bend some 7/8" refrigeration tubing.* The molded case needs to have a large diagram stuck on the lid showing where everything goes. It's not very intuitive and while there is an ad with a postage-stamp size picture enclosed, it's very hard to see.The short story is "If you need to bend tubing, this works really well, although not as good as it could"

good quality product

This bender works great. There are higher quality similar benders, with aluminun shoes, that will last longer than this bender's plastic shoes, but cost 3 times as much. If I was using on an industrial scale, I might buy the more expensive model, but for my occasional use, this is more than sufficient.

I am a first time Vevor.com customer. First the hand tubing bender works flawlessly. It is very high quality, works better than I anticipated, makes copper tubing bends that are remarkably good quality with no pinching or problems, and arrived in three days! I was so impressed that I just ordered approximately $322 of concrete tools that were also outstanding quality. I am delighted with Vevor.com for their quality, timely delivery, and great price value.
