🌊 Thermaltake Pacific DIY Water Cooling PETG Hard Tube Bending Kit - 16mm OD (5/8") x 12mm ID (1/2") - CL-W093-AL00BL-A Review

I would give 5 stars if the insert were made twice as long. The insert is too short and if you're hoping your hose won't fit elbow fittings then you're spot on if the shortest end of your hose is 6 inches or less. Also, soak the insert in pure olive oil before inserting it into the tube. hose and heat the hose. This hose compresses the liner, no greasing, and you can't pull the liner out! I tried spraying oil but it contained water and fogged up inside the hose. Pure olive oil has 0% water, so…

I am in the process of making my first bow, as is almost everyone who is likely to purchase this product. I spent several hours looking at various toolkits ranging from $20 to $100. In the end I chose this one and am completely satisfied with my choice. The tool set works great, especially the pipe cutting tool, and it didn't do badly when working with hard pipe (16mm). corners. Sometimes I find it easier to make a good bend by hand. However, if you want to use pre-made corners, the tool works…

This kit helps me bend PETG tubing. Firstly, this was my first liquid cooling system so I needed all the help I could get. From this set I would say that the most important element is the milling cutter and the reamer for the edges after cutting. Other bend guides are not needed if you are already experienced or think you can bend the perfect angle. For beginners, this is a good start. Even if the price is too high. I suggest getting a cheap router and a reamer/deburring tool and then practice…

Without a doubt the most important tool in the entire assembly process. I tried to make it free like some videos do but it didn't work but it changed everything. I recommend this to anyone building a hard assembly. And I read some other people's reviews before I bought as one person said he had a cracked pipe and another person said they could use it better but they definitely used the tools wrong. The only thing that confuses me is that the price is a bit high, it seems that it should be…

When I opened the kit I found that I was missing a silicone insert which is a pretty important part when bending rigid tubing like PETG. All of the other pieces of kit felt solid and well made, but I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I received a replacement set in the mail and can update my review at this time. I've noticed in many other reviews that their kit is also missing parts. I'm not sure where this product came from or if it was counterfeit, but someone in QA should step up their…

There is no reason why this article does not get 5 stars. Honestly. So I used olive oil for the silicone insert. I covered it LIGHTLY so it could slide in and out. If you don't, it will get stuck! Be patient! Take your time when heating the tubes. I also used work gloves to avoid burning my hands. Expect to fail multiple times until you get it right. Practice creates masters! I have overheated and underheated tubes. If you bend down, walk slowly. Then hold the position until the tube has cooled

There are much better bending tools out there but a higher quality cutter than the ones I use for brake lines. I want the bevel tool to be as high quality as the rest of the set. I didn't pay attention to the spikes, but the whole set is of decent quality. Also, the 12mm insert is too short, but that wasn't important for my build. I run a lot of 13mm tubes and Revain has some great options that are actually long enough to ride harder trails with longer tubes.
