VEVORPipe Tube Bender, 3/8" to 1" Manual Pipe Tube Bender, with 7 Dies, Heavy Duty Tube Bender Tubing of Steel Metal Copper, for Repair Shops, Blue

Very nice I have no complaints. Is as listed

good quality fast delivery

This is better quality than I needed or anticipated. I bought to try to make more consistent bends to my 0.25” round bar for wire frame Christmas light as I thought it would be faster and more consistent than my ring roller. It does work, but is overkill for my application. I do wish it had the ability for tighter/smaller radius bends. Not the tools fault though. A marker to show exactly where the bend would start would also be beneficial.

For $120, this bender is awesome. I've made a few boat hand rails with it and it works great. It's not for the novice tubing bender, but if you have enough material to make mistakes; that's how you learn. It makes nice and smooth bends, but it does leave a devit where the clamp eye is. If they could re-engineer that clamp eye so it wouldn't leave a devit; this thing would be the biggest bang for the buck. I love it though. For my boat and the boats I work on (working fishing boats) it's perfect. Small dent in the bend doesn't matter. I've used it on 3/8 copper compressor tubing, 7/8 and 1" sst rail tubing for boat gunnels. For the 1" tubing, you'll need a long cheater bar, but the bender holds up. I put a pry bar in it to extend the handle 1.5' and that worked great to bend 1" sst. I'd definately buy it again, but hopefully i don't need to.

Shipped with duplicate 22mm bending dies and no 25mm bending die so I can't use it on 1" OD pipe which is what I really needed it for. I have contacted Vevor they claim to have responded with a ticket # and information, but nothing is yet available. This will be returned if not rectified. It appears it should do the job with the right parts. Vevor customer service is an endless unproductive loop. I ended up returning it to Amazon. I hope the 2nd one has all the correct parts.

Very poor customer support.The product arrived with a defective handle. It was basically manufactured wrong. I contacted their customer support expecting they would send a replacement part quickly and I'll be able to use the tube bender. Multiple emails and pictures of the defective part I was never able to get them to correct the problem. I could have returned the item , but that meant waiting another month to get a replacement . I decided to machine a new handle from a piece of cold roll steel, and solve the problem.

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.

I mounted this pipe bender on a bench grinder metal stand. It would need to be bolted to floor if you are doing large pipe but I'm bending 3/8, 1/2 and 5/8 copper and stainless steel. I use aluminum welding rods to make a pattern before cutting the pipe. I still make mistakes but not as many with the patterns. The bends are easy to pull but like anything it takes practice.
