Pipe Bender 3/8" Heavy Duty Tubing Bender Tube Bender Roller 180° HVAC Copper Tool For Copper Pipe, Aluminum Pipe, Iron Pipe, Stainless Steel Pipe

I took a chance on this, and won. It works very well and is really reasonably priced. The picture is of a 1/2" mild steel tube with a 1/16" wall -- the kind of general-purpose metal you can buy at Ace or Home Depot. It bent fairly easily, with some serious force but not at the hernia level, and no kinking or flattening or deforming. Exactly what I was looking for. This will be a great tool for making up welded-steel frames, brackets, luggage racks, etc. Happy camper.

I bought a handheld "plier" type bender that did several different diameter tubing, including 3/8" and it was a disaster, so I bought this bender. It's amazing! No comparison to the pliers. The bends are beautiful. It is a bit unwieldy and tends to flop all around, but it is a side effect of the tool design. The design works to give you very nice looking bends. It took a bit to learn how to get the tubing into the hook. It won't go straight in, you have to angle it a certain way. I was using steel 3/8 tubing for a transmission cooler I was adding to my truck. I'd say it came out pretty nice. Highly recommend.

Used this to make a series of bends for 3/8" 0.035 wall stainless tubing. It worked great. Never had to do a 90 or 180 bend but i'm sure it would be easy to do.

Strong enough for stainless steel definitely not ridgid quality but cost effective.

I used this to bend up some stainless tubing for a hydroboost system on my olf mustang. This tube bender works as well as the fancy ones we have at my work. The only negative is the retaining hook is fixed, where the expensive ones fold over. I had to remove the hook on one complex tube to get it off. Overall, this is a great value tool.

Great tool thanks

Great price for what you get. Benders like this are expensive. They are definitely charging a fair price. I love having the grips on it too, very soft. The leverage is amazing with this as well

Worked well on copper and 18 gauge stainless steel 20 gauge stainless steel not so good did not produce a clean bend inside was crumpled outside was ok. The main reason I purchased was for the 20 gauge that’s the reason for the 3 star rating. Didn’t come with any documents had todo test bends to determine deduct. Had to upgrade to the heavier gauge stainless wound up costing more than the bender.

Bent 3/8 Nickel copper fuel lines. Works well. Only down side is their size. This bender is big. Well fabricated. High quality item

i really liked how easy it bent the tubing.

It is completely matched our need

Works good for the price

Its no where near the quality of ridgid
