Customer Reviews for 10-25mm Heavy Duty Manual Steel Pipe Tube Bender Handheld Pipe Bending W/ Dies

You have to understand what it is you’re buying and at what price point you’re paying. The bender itself only one die fit. The other dies would not assemble due to the fact the powder coating was inside the ID. Had to take and remove and open the idea up. Some of the dyes are off-center from the roller leading you to make a shim or add washers to bring everything in line. The tubing that I’ve bent so far was acceptable for what I was doing.

This is not a $600 tube bender but it does the job well. The tube does get a little marked up around the radius but can be buffed off. Definitely what I was looking for to make accessories for my truck on the weekends. It does need a solid base and requires a lot of force, maybe some lubrication on the tube would help. For attaching it I made a tow hitch mount. The starting point of the tube does get damaged on the eyelet-grip but you can account for that in your work excess. Definitely recommend for the weekend tinker.

Received the bender, and mounted it on a 2 x 6, lag bolted into the studs in the garage.I set-about a project that I had been postponing until this purchase arrived, and found it to be a solution to several different problems which I needed to solve.It is sturdy, and appears to be fit for long term, heavy duty use.NOTE: The photographs of this bender show the bender with the exchangeable radius forms installed upside-down. The square/rectangular protrusion in the casting is the stop which prevents the radius form from rotating. If used with the radius form installed as shown in the photos, you risk breaking a radius form when bending under extreme conditions,Additionally, you may find that you have to use some sand paper to remove the paint from the radius form pivot holes, before they will fit easily on the bender hub. A minute or two, with a piece of rolled-up 320 grit sand paper will do it for you, though--nothing to write home about.All-in-all, this will get quite a bit of use in the future days and months ahead.

Bending stainless steel tubing. Excellent performance. But… the packaging was less than bad! Most if the box was obliterated and retaped, no packing no foam no nothing.

You will need some strength to carry the whole box through your door! This bender makes all of my others seem like kid’s toys! Each part is heavy like a set of workout weights! Nice glossy paint so it won’t rust like my others, minimum maintenance required (maybe some surface, rust prevention oiling if you use it a lot.

Works great. I believe it's worth the money and a great starter with the dies that come with it. I'd bought a square tube die from a different brand name and had to make a new pin & washers to make it work. Over all great bender.

Not sure the dies are correct size. Seem to be a little small.

Works well, packaged well, FedEx driver now hates me. Happy purchase from a fair seller!

I have only used the bender for 3/8" x .06" and 1/2" x .03" tubing so far. On those , it did an excellent job, with little effort. -The bender comes with a nylon lock-nut and a thin jam nut for the roller bolt in the handle. The locknut cannot be used, as it's too thick, and will hang up on the base mounting bolts. -Even with the jam nut, the bolt will drag on the base mounting bolts, so I machine the heads on them down to add some clearance. (see pic) This would be easy enough to do with a grinder. -Any reason why the decal is installed upside down? (see pic) All in all, a nice bender at a great price.

Great for the price
