VEVOR Pipe Tube Bender, 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" (12.7 mm) OD, 3 in 1 Manual Level Tube Bender, 180° Copper Aluminum Pipes Bending Tools for HVAC Air Conditioning

Just as good as the Imperial brand but around £80 cheaper, used both side by side in work and seen very little difference.

It was a bit stiff at the beginning but now glide much smoother on the pipe.

Gets the job done

Not fit for purpose

1/2” and 15mm can be synonymous in plumbing. But don’t make my mistake. This will not bend 15mm pipe. It destroys it instead.

Got in to use on 15mm totally destroy the copper pipe . Would not recommend it for 15mm copper pipe . For me waste of money should just got bending spring did it old school way

The product is labelled as suitable for 1/2 inch pipe but is clearly too small. The formers won't allow the 1/2 inch pipe into the recess. Looks to be a mis-labelled 10mm version. Disappointed.

A well made and very capable bender for the price. As of this review, I've used it to bend 1/2" copper A/C lines and 3/8" galvanized steel fuel line with out so much as breaking a sweat. As noted by others, this bender works on all HVAC, pneumatic and automotive lines, however, it is not meant for plumbing as the actual outer diameter of 1/2" copper plumbing is 5/8" ; thus the reason some reviewers have posted pictures of kinked or damaged pipe. Use this tool for it's intended purpose and you won't be disappointed.

Ottimo prodotto

Very nice product that is well made and performs great. However, the instructions are needlessly complicated. All you need to do is locate and mark point of desired tangency on your tubing, line it up to the tangency on the tool, and make your bend. Once you figure this out, tubing fab is a breeze.

Perfekt

I bended 5/8" OD, 1/16" wall aluminum, which is way over what this bender is designed for. I used the 1/2" groove and it scratched a little into my pipe. I had to use a 3 ft pipe extension and clamp the bender in a vice, and still it was hard to bend. The bender survived !
