So far, this has bent my copper tubes without damaging them, which was my main goal. It does leave scratches (which doesn't bother me) however I wonder if some oil or a piece of tape on the pipe before bending might fix that.

Besides the tubing bender tool, the kit also included a de-burring tool, pipe cutter, and instructions. The instruction sheet was very simple and straightforward with good illustrations. It’s not like this is a terribly complicated tool so not much was needed, but it is always good to know that you were using it the right way.The bender itself is well designed and a breeze to operate. The bending grooves are sized correctly for their respective pipes, 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 inch. The handle of the bender has holes for measuring each size of tubing with the sizes engraved next to them. The two pivot points on the base and the handle are loose enough to make positioning easy, but tight enough that it doesn’t just flop around when not in use. The entire bender is made of a robust cast metal.The reaming tool that comes in the kit has a removable cap in the handle for stowing the cutting head. I really appreciate this feature so the Reamer isn’t just sticking out all the time. The handle has plenty of room for other reaming heads as well if you choose to put some in. The reaming blade is easily installed and removed with a push button retention lock at the neck of the tool. When installed, the head spins freely and removes any potential burrs with its sharp edge.The pipe cutter, which is also made from solid cast metal, has a good blade and a strong steel tensioning screw. The two rollers mounted into the body of the cutter opposite the blade help it to easily glide around the circumference of the pipe without issue.Something that I discovered is that with the addition of a single rubber band, you can easily nest the tools together into a compact unit (see photo) for easy transport and storage. You just clamp the cutter onto one handle and tuck the reamer into the groove on the inside of the other handle, then hold them in place with a rubber band.All in all, this is a great little tool kit for a homeowner that does any of their own plumbing work.

This low priced tubing bender does a nice enough job on light weight tubing. If you had a lot of bends to make or are working with heavy wall or larger diameter tubing, you'll get tired of this pretty quickly. In those cases it would be better to spend a bit more and get a bender that's really up to the job. Also, it would be nice if there was a continuous bend angle scale so it would be easier to make allowance for spring back.

Bends tube's well but also puts lots of scratches on the tubes, if coated.

Bends soft copper well. Tried bends on tubing that I probably should not have tried. Bender never faltered.

The tool comes with a cutter, reamer, and bender. This is nice to help get the tube into the condition that you want. Everything is built well and seems sturdy. I have used this a couple times and each time it has worked flawlessly for what I needed it for.

I grabbed these for a home-made brake line job I was working on for a neighbor's build. It took a little getting used to, but once we figured it out, this tool made quick work of the job. Since these are pretty simple tools, there's not a lot to grade - but the finish is good, and should last quite a long time.

This tool was my first pipe bender. In the past we bend the conduit over hard surfaces the best we could bend them. This tool makes each bend more uniform and aesthetically pleasing. This is good for bending pipes around corners or home brick walls. Sometimes the brick pattern sticks out obstructing the path of the pipe. It slightly bend the pipe past it, leaving the pipe flusher to the wall. The tool is well built and should last through several jobs with no issues. Must have tool for the professional electrician or weekend warrior.
