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!

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.

The build quality is very good works well but if you need it for plumbing dont get this one. video shows 1/2 inch or 12 mm copper pipe being bent but 1/2 copper ment for plumbing is considered 15 mm. This will not bent 15mm.

Quality is Good

Thank you great product 🫡❤️

This item failed on its very first bend. It is advertised to bend "thin stainless steel pipe" up to 1.2mm thick wall thickness. I attempted to bend 1/2" EMT conduit, which was 1.07mm thick steel. The tool broke completely in half. It was rather amusing how poorly it performed. I returned it and purchased a purpose-built conduit bender that completed the task without any issue. I suggest you save time and effort and shell out the extra 20-30 dollars for a proper conduit bender. This could likely handle copper pipe as it's a lot more malleable. It's just poor advertising.

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

If you're planning on using this for copper PIPES, DON'T. It won't fit, this TUBING bender is made for tubing. People seem to be confused, copper pipes are measured at the I.D. so 1/2" pipes are 1/2" I.D. and is 15.85mm O.D. whereas 1/2" tubing is measured at the OD not ID, 12.7mm OD. If you're looking to bend copper pipes, look for a pipe bender.
