VEVOR Pipe Tube Bender, 1/4"-7/8" O.D. Ratcheting Tubing Bender, 90° Forward/Reverse Pipes Bending Tools with 7 Dies and Pipe Cutter for HVAC Air Conditioning Refrigerator Repair

I recently decided to install a heat pump on our new home rather than pay more than twice the cost to have it done. I was a HVAC professional in my youth (long ago). We used to use the tubing springs to bend the tubing and that is fine if there are no fittings, it is not flared already, and you are working at the last few feet of the line. I had need to make bends outside at the condenser, under the house in less than 24" of space and then a tight bend at the air handler. The documentation is not written by an English speaker so is a little lacking but will get you by. They could have done better with explaining "How" to use it. There are places where you can bend from the inside of the curve but others where you must bend from the outside of the curve. That is what the two attachments are for that they do not explain.All in all I was able to make the correct angles outside to align perfectly so there was no binding. Under the house I was easily able to put a 90 degree bend in a 3/4" line where I only had enough room to drag and not crawl. At the air handler, it made a very nice 90 degree bend that had to bend away from me in both the 3/4' and 3/8" lines.I think this tool was worth the cost in time saved as well as the frustration you get when you finally kink the line you are so carefully trying to bend. At the price of copper now, you can not afford to buy another line set. If I only use it once (I doubt that) I would count it worth it on the installation cost.

good quality my hvac school teacher recommended this tool to the class and it was fun using it and its very simple to use

Works perfectly. Would be 5 stars if the case was more durable. I think most of the low star reviews are people trying to bend pipe that is too stiff and not what this tool is meant for. I’m an hvac tech with 15+ years experience. I would recommend this tool to someone on a budget or as a back up.

Great product and price. Easy to use and well made.

Upon receiving package was simple to open, assemble, and bend 7/8" and 3/8" copper HVAC lines properly. Made 90* bends in both with ease, tool worked flawlessly, no kinks or problems. Upon using it in the future I'll apply wax or lube to the pivot points just to see if it helps, but tool worked as advertised first try and bends look good. Would post pictures if I knew how as bends are clean and crisp.

Work great but not sure If it is going to be a professional use tool for installations, I think it is useful for a service technician who may use it only occasionally.

A beautiful set to bad it is nearly useless.It can only bend tubing that you can bend with your fingers...

Good for the money!
