VEVOR Pipe Tube Bender, 3/8" to 1" Manual Pipe Tube Bender, with 7 Dies, Heavy Duty Tube Bender Tubing of Steel Metal Copper, for Repair Shops, Blue

Rock Solid & Fast. I am using the VEVOR Pipe Tube Bender alongside my JD-32 to bend 3/4" & 1" Tubing for Control Arms on our Karts. The Vevor Tubing Bender works great for this type of work significantly speeding up production. The Vevor Bender has been designed really well, the Dies are Very Durable & Reliable producing accurate bends without kinking or mauling the Steel tubing.

For $120, this bender is awesome. I've made a few boat hand rails with it and it works great. It's not for the novice tubing bender, but if you have enough material to make mistakes; that's how you learn. It makes nice and smooth bends, but it does leave a devit where the clamp eye is. If they could re-engineer that clamp eye so it wouldn't leave a devit; this thing would be the biggest bang for the buck. I love it though. For my boat and the boats I work on (working fishing boats) it's perfect. Small dent in the bend doesn't matter. I've used it on 3/8 copper compressor tubing, 7/8 and 1" sst rail tubing for boat gunnels. For the 1" tubing, you'll need a long cheater bar, but the bender holds up. I put a pry bar in it to extend the handle 1.5' and that worked great to bend 1" sst. I'd definately buy it again, but hopefully i don't need to.

Most of the plumbing fittings are $$$ now. I use this product to bend some copper pipe 3/4 , not bad using this product for my 1st time , tip -use some lubricant in order to make bends more smooth. I tried with pex too it's helps a lot if you need to bend some but pex is flexible is not going to keep the shape on a 90 degree It works great with hard pipe or copper pipe.

For the price, it's pretty capable. Pros and cons then details: Pros: - Easy to set up - Small - Great for single bends Cons: - Handle is too short for larger tube - Difficult to align multiple bends - Needs regular greasing My shop is small and this was easy to fix to the side of my welding table in a vertical orientation where it takes up virtually no space at all. For tube under 1/2", the provided handle works well. That being said, I had to use a 5' extension with all my weight on it to successfully bend 1" x 0.055" wall Chromoly. For single bends it works fine, however there are no markings on the dies to align multiple bends along a centerline. I added my own marking that works well enough, your mileage may vary. As noted in other reviews, the collars on the dies do leave a small indentation on the tube. Probably not an issue for most, but you could fab a strap collar if needed. Lastly, the construction is good overall and everything slides together easily. However, I recommend greasing the main posts and the through holes on the dies. I didn't do this at first and got significant galling on the handle post after only a couple 1" bends. If you'll be mostly bending 3/8-1/2, maybe 3/4 thin wall, this will do the job just fine. If you plan to bend mostly 1", I'd encourage looking for a more capable hydraulic bender.

What a nice unit

Its ok needs mounted solid the 3 stars because the handles short and it puts a crease in the pipe when bending

10/10

Broke on the 3rd bend. I haven't had a chance to send it back yet, but I will. The second photo shows the inside was rusty. Im glad I got the insurance on this one

Buena herramienta

Not quite final placement however the aluminum coolant lines I put in just made me love playing with this bender. Definitely recommend this one however you need a strong vice or way of solidly mounting it for which its designed for. This is not the final placement on my engine but gives you a little idea what can be done with this toy.

Attrezzo benfatto e molto più dimensionato di quello che mi aspettavo. Ho piegato perfettamente dei tubi anche di acciaio dandogli una forma perfetta.

Perfect for the work I am doing and very good price.

When the description is pipe and tube bender it doesn't tell you what measurements should be used but none of the measurements on the Dies fit any pipe or tube I've got,
