This product is well designed, well made and excellent value for money. It does exactly what it was designed to do extremely well and without much effort. In fact after using these types of tools for decades I find this on of the best. I purchased it because I lent my old one which the borrower never returned and this one is far better than my old one of 30 years.
Although I only used it for a few bends using half inch copper tubing for my shop compressor condenser installation, I found that it did exactly what I expected it to do. Very smooth tight radius bends with absolutely nothing negative to report. I'm happy with the purchase so far.
I'm a complete novice with this type of bender and found it a bit clumsy and or awkward. Could be the tubing I was using, me, or the bender. It did what it was intended to do, but our \"dance\" was not what would be considered graceful.
