Customer Reviews for VEVOR Manual Hydraulic Pipe Tube Bender Machine 10 Ton Manual Hydraulic Tube Bending Machine 1/4"-1" Diameter 6 Dies for Heating and Piping Construction

Perfect tube bender for the price.Most benders you’ll spend $300-$400, then another $200-300 for the dies.This bender comes with several sizes. I successfully bent 1” , 1/8” thick alum tube, didn’t snap. I also bent 16g 1” mild steel. Much easier to bend the steel than the alum. The bends come out nice and you can bend a 180 or 90 degress and anything inbetween. The bend was a tiny bit flat on the steel butNothing to be concerned about honestly. You could fill the tube with sand to prevent it. The bender is probably not going to bend anything thicker than 14g steel. Maybe 11g but would be really difficult and I don’t think the tool would last very many uses on the thicker metal. This will bend tube not pipe which is another bender

A durable tool for both industrial & domestic

Well-made tool works very nice shipped very quickly and at a wonderful price I'm very happy and would recommend this to anyone it is very well-made

It is what I wanted

Not sure why people are having so many issues with this bender. It worked great for me. A few tips is to grease EVERYTHING. Every pivot, every threaded part grease the hell out of it. My guess is the majority of people didn't do these and that's why they are having trouble. I also tightened the bolt that holds the ring on that holds the tube in place. Not sure if it helped or not but seemed like a good idea. this will need to be bolted down. I tried just hold it in my vice at first but the vise would spin on its base. I bent up four of the parts in my pictures with no issues at all. Material was 3/4" OD x 1/16" wall steel tubing.

The tubing bender is what I needed to be able to bend light wall 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" tubing. I was even able to bend 3/8" solid round rod with no problems. I would not use this for bending heavy gauge tubing. Another tip, when using this bender I always shoot a little wd40 into the dies themselves as this will help it by causing less friction when bending tubing.

Good for bending tubing at around 6x the tubing diameter without any sand fill in the tube. I wanted tighter bends around 3.5x the tubing diameter and made mandrels out of oak and filled with sand. The bender platform is easily modifiable for bending. Overall, I am pleased with setup. The machining of parts was a solid 4-4.5 out of 5 points. I was able to complete the job I bought the bender for. I think this bender is well worth the purchase price.

For the money its a very useful tool, able to bend thin wall tubing with very minor obstacles. I was satisfied with the results of bender with only a few minor issues. The plates that hold the tube on the back side of the inner radius die needs a good chamfer. It would leave a little crease on the tube from the pressure of bending around the radius. After giving that a proper radius there were hardly any witness marks.I was able to bend 1" tubing with only moderate effort, would definitely encourage a strong rigid table to mount to though. Size changes were fairly easy, taking only a minute or two to completely go from size to size. Its a decent bender for small projects and at a price point that is hard to argue with.

Perfect. My hubby is making VW Racks and this is what he needed

Man! This tool is fun! broke 3 pipe benders from home depot, they all broke after the 1st or 2nd use, exactly at the same spot. The new pipe bender 3/8 to 1 inch is incomparably better, stronger and it does not flatten the tubes while bending. But be ready, it weighs a ton! No wonder the wooden crate in which it traveled arrives in pieces. It really did not matter, the tool will need a much rougher treatment to start being just scratched... I totally recommend it, by far the best tool for the money!
