Hilmor 1839032 CBK Compact Bender Kit, 1/4" To 7/8" - HVAC Tools and Equipment for Tube and Pipe Bending, Black

Got this for 7/8" copper. For 7/8" lineset tubing, when I had to make a bend 180 degrees opposite direction the way lineset tubing was uncoiled - which is the absolute worst case for making a bend - this tool pulled it off, although there were a few minor ripples on the inside of the bend. No kinks though! Otherwise, all other bends made 90 degrees from or bent the same way the lineset was uncoiled came out perfect. No doubt I would buy it again. 3/8" tubing bent perfectly in any direction regardless of which direction it was originally coiled. Get the reverse bending option! Without the reverse bending add-on, you might find yourself in a tight spot where the only option is to cut the tubing and braze in an elbow. Bends are better than Brazing!

These benders are awesome! I have nothing bad to say about this product. I’ve owned and used these benders for 5 years on a daily basis as a hvac technician. These benders allowed me to improve my craftsmanship and help improve the efficiency of the systems I’ve installed by using less copper joints. It’s easy to use and extremely durable. I recommend all hvac techs to have this product, definitely a game changer.

if you know what youre doing, annealed copper or soft copper (pair coil) only as if you try to usef it on rigid pipe you will have a hard time releasing the the ratchet, my only problem is i wish it had markings for 90° as some competitors tool others wise works, does the job and no ripples or kinks in the pipe

Great quality, easy to use. There was a space for the reverse bend attachments in the case, of which I ordered and placed inside. Have used it several times and it has worked perfectly.
