Review on Tube Bender Kit Refrigeration Ratcheting Tubing Benders Hand Tool 1/4 To 7/8 Inch Aluminium Alloy Replacement Head by Jim Ball

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works but wasn’t satisfied

I use this tool three times. 1st bend was 3/4 copper coming down the outside wall, worked great but when pulled apart noticed that it had a small crack in back side, Didn't look that bad, second bend on same pipe the center piece cracked down the middle and the 3/4 pipe kinked. Thought maybe just defect and was going to exchange it. 2days later used 7/8 to bend piece to repipe compressor and could not get the pipe out of the center piece, thought I was going to break it to separate them, the tool works easy with one hand and is quick, just dont think is a good investment for me

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • Limited range of tubing sizes that can be bent, may not accommodate all projects
