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!

Never disappointed with hilmor products. Makes perfect 90's. Installs look super clean and professional. A must have

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

This bender is a game-changer for creating perfectly bent line sets quickly and easily. I love how user-friendly it is - I can have it ready and bend a line in no time. The only minor drawback I've encountered is when I accidentally over bend the pipe, causing it to get stuck in the track. However, this doesn't happen often as I mainly use it on soft lines, which it's designed for. Despite this, it has elevated the quality of my work, giving it a more polished and professional finish. Plus, it's quite entertaining to see customers' surprised reactions when I use it - some even mistake it for a crossbow! Overall, I highly recommend this tool for anyone looking to up their bending game effortlessly.

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.
