Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Maxline M8097 Pipe Tube Straightener for 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch Tubing by Brian Delgado

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works, but be very careful.

With several hundred feet of Maxline tubing to install, this seemed like the perfect tool to turn it from a spool into long straight lengths. After installing this stuff, I'm not 100% sure if it was absolutely necessary. A word of extreme caution: if you try to use the slotted hole as a handle to pull it down the tube, be very careful! The roller covers the hole a bit and will cut your arm. My experience didn't require stitches, but it was enough to bleed enough for me to reach for duct tape and paper towel to heal myself. The best way I found was to attach the tool to something strong and run a tube through it.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • There are flaws
