Imperial Tool 470FH Triple Head 180 Degree Tube Bender, 3/16", 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" (4 Pack)

This worked excellent for making very easy, very smooth bends with 5/16 zinc and copper plated steel tube. It made fabbing fuel lines for my old truck a breeze.

Costs a little extra but this is a good quality tool. Made accurate bends on 3/16 copper nickel brake tubing right out of the box. Only thing it can't do is make two bends close together. For that you'll need brake tube pliers, I bought the Gino Development 02-0202 TruePower Brake Line Forming Tool with Pliers and Bender for that. You want both if you're making replacement brake lines.

The one I received is black with blue handles and includes instructions. Bends 1/4'' copper and 5/16'' steel brake tubing with ease, no kinking or tool marks left behind. I like the adjustable handle for bends greater than 90 degrees. It has a solid grip and feel and the action is smooth. It isn't inexpensive but is certainly better than other inexpensive benders I've used in the past.

This tubing bender works very well. The movable handle is great. It makes it so that you don’t have to cross the handles over to accomplish a 180° bend. The handle grips are helpful. Bending action is smooth and accurate. Spend the extra money on this style and you’ll wonder why you ever used the fixed-handle version for so long.

In 40+ years of being a Professional Automotive Mechanic this is hands down the best tubing bender I've ever used it makes Absolutely Perfect bends all the way up to 180° I wish this company would design this bender with an extendable handle design but that said they do make a long handle version and a version that does 1/2 " as well

Bends 3/16 stainless brake lines like butter, and the ability to make 180 degree bends without crossing the handles is also good. Very good bender, and I have tried quite a few.

This tool made it very easy to custom make brake lines for a my 1955 Chevy.

Bought this to replace another bender I purchased on Amazon where I let price dictate my purchasing decision. Do yourself a favor, purchase good quality tools (like this tubing bender) and save yourself time and aggravation.
