I bought this to make a piece of tubing for an air compressor. While it worked quite well at bending the tubing, it did have some small flaws that needed to be addressed before I used it again. A plus point not shown in the product page is that it has presets for the pipe hook for the different pipe sizes. That made this an equal with the other bender I looked at but much less expensive. The flaws were that there were some small nibs in the tubing channels where the molds came together. These made some small marks in the tubing I bent. In this instance not an issue, but for some cases those nicks would have made the pipe a flawed part and wasted material. Using some small files and other tools I smoothed out the flaws in those areas and it should work perfectly now. Those flaws reduced the 5 star to 4, but they can be fixed easily enough for the price savings. Also doesn't mean the more expensive tool doesn't have the same problem. I would buy this tool again and recommend it as it works quite well.
