Wostore 180 Degree Tubing Bender For 1/4 5/16 And 3/8Inch Copper Aluminum Thin Stainless Steel Blue Review

Did you ever buy a tool for one particular one-time task? I did in this case, since no one knew where I could find what I needed. So,. I wanted to put a valve extension on my outside dually (the valve points inward) to facilitate the installation of a TPMS, but the available 360 extensions wouldn't fit with my alloy rims. The guy at Les Schwab said some people just bend them, so, ebay + 1 day = tubing bender, and: a perfect fit worth every penny it cost!

This lists stainless in the description, but it didn't really work with my 1/2mm thick wall stainless tube. I wouldn't recommend for use with stainless steel tube unless it has a very this wall.

I have used other higher quality more versatile benders before. But I'm pretty impressed with how this performs. Happy with purchase.

Worked flawlessly for me. Thanks for attention. I'm a novice at this. 2 ten foot hard fuel lines.many bends, no problem.

I used these mainly for bending 3/8 soft copper and these are the bee's knees! They bend it to whatever angle is needed. The handles are skinny so keeping it steady when to take it all the way to 180 gets a little tricky but it definitely still does the trick!

It doesn't say that it works with 3/16", but it definitely does. May not be able to handle tight radius bends! I used it when replacing all the brake lines on my jeep.

Used on 3/8" thin walled stainless steel. Broke on the first bend. Did not like the quality of the product. Not a good value for the money.

Flattens the tube a little and you need to be slow and steady to avoid distorting the tube but worked great for me for 3/8 acr copper.

I am staring to bend tubing for instrumentation. They didnt work. This is only for AC tubing, like cooper May be too heavy for some users to maneuver!

On the box it states "Made out of steel". It's made out of poor-quality Cast Aluminum,which broke the second time bending 5/16' copper tubing! The only steel part is the Pivot plate and pin. The easily read Markings came barely visible due to factory finishing.

Wasn't sure what to expect for the price. Used it to bend a couple of stainless steel (3/8 OD) lines on my bew condenser unit. I'm surprised at how easy it actually was to operate. I'm copper would be even easier. Great buy!

If you don't have one you need one. Amazing tool! Why I didn't have one 20 years ago is beyond me! So simple, such perfect clean bends! Amazing!

Handle brittle failure broke while bending 0.035" 3/8 SS tube. Worked fine for 1/4" SS tube. In the world of SS tubing 0.035" wall is considered the "thinner" wall with 0.065" wall being thicker wall "standard" tubing. For $15 I knew I was buying a throw away tool but I was hoping it would have been a little tougher.

I bought this to construct an antenna. This eliminated the 8 90 degree fittings needed (@$4.20 each). I more than recovered the cost, plus I still have the bender for other projects.

This tool did fine on 5/16" brake lines, but started to flex out of shape when trying to bend 3/8" copper. I annealed the tubing for another attempt, but gave up. I will save this tool for smaller tubing.

Definitely not for anything stiffer than thin aluminum or copper. If you can't bend the pipe by hand this tool will break. Broke trying to bend new fuel lines to fit car. Don't try with steel.

Used to bend aluminum tubing with good results. Not for high volume production work, but for occasional use it fits the bill perfectly

Had a project that required more than a 90 deg. bend . The Wostore 180 worked like a champ. remember using one when I was teaching auto shop but since I retired I haven't needed a bender until now. Very happy

Despite it being cheaply made, along with being difficult to work with, I was able to bend the tubing. The tool definitely requires some time to get use to.I used it to form 5/16” steel fuel line with quite a few bends and offsets.

Was skeptical of buying because I was bending 1/4” & 3/16” steel lines.The item is very lightweight which it’s because it’s cheap steel aluminum material reason for Cost.I gripped it to my vice and bent a few.Paint quickly peeled off but it did a DECENT job.I’ll see how much it hold off.I recommend the item as long you put it on a vice!
