This professional-grade 3 in 1 tubing bender creates precise 180-degree bends in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" OD soft copper and aluminum tubing. Engineered for HVAC and refrigeration repair, its durable construction prevents kinking and flattening, ensuring leak-free, high-flow connections on the first try for faster, more reliable service work. Features and Benefits
- 3-in-1 Tool for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" OD - One compact tool replaces three separate benders, saving money and keeping your kit organized and portable.
- Precision-Formed 180-Degree Bending Formers - Achieves full U-bends and tight return bends with consistent radius, critical for proper refrigerant flow and system efficiency.
- Reinforced Alloy Steel Construction - Withstands repeated professional use without deformation, providing long-term accuracy and durability for a reliable investment.
- Clear, Laser-Etched Degree and Alignment Marks - Enables exact, repeatable bends every time, reducing material waste and installation errors.
- Non-Marring, Protective Coating - Protects the soft surface of copper and aluminum tubing from scratches and gouges during the bending process. Applications
- HVAC System Installation and Repair - Perfect for forming clean evaporator coil connections, refrigerant line sets, and condenser unit piping.
- Refrigeration Service Work - Essential for repairing ice makers, reach-in coolers, walk-in freezers, and commercial refrigeration systems.
- Automotive AC Repair - Ideal for bending aluminum or copper lines when servicing car, truck, or RV air conditioning systems.
- DIY and Plumbing Projects - A great value tool for custom fuel lines, hydraulic lines, or small-scale copper plumbing requiring precise bends. Note: For best results, always use the correct size former for your tube OD and ensure the tube is fully annealed (soft) before bending.
