Revainrating 5 out of 5

does what it says and a little more

did you bend a _solid_ 3/8" aluminum bar with this? yesisn't that kind of abusing this product, which is made for hollow pipes? yeswhy didn't you do it the right way? i'm cheapdid it work anyway? yesdid it hurt your hand? yesare you ashamed to admit that? a little bitare you satisfied? yes

Pros
  • Works O.K. easy to use
Cons
  • The 180 degree limit may not be enough for some applications

broke during first use

broke during first use, bending 3/8 x 0.028" wall 4130 steel tubing. first bend was OK, second bend slightly crimped the tubing, third bend crimped worse. then I noticed the retaining channel was failing and likely allowing the tubing to bulge outwards, cussing the crimping. probably OK for softer metals and/or smaller diameter.

Pros
  • Just as expected
Cons
  • May not come with instructions

Works well - great price

There are some really expensive benders out there, but this one really works well at a really decent price. It will make a clean 180 bend no problem. A little silicone spray on the channels make it work even better.

Pros
  • Para reparación de líneas automotriz
Cons
  • The product broke the first time I used it.

Bends the tubing, but leaves a kink

Needed to bend stainless tubing; it worked sorta, but had to waste many feet of tubing before I got one bent without a kink.

Pros
  • Just gotit haven't had a chance to use it
Cons
  • Smaller diameters may require multiple passes to achieve desired bend
