Customer Reviews for VEVOR YP-9 Manual Bench Top Compact Bender Pipe Bending Machine 7 Dies 2.5-7.6cmMetal Fabrication Tube Rod Pipe Bender 44ft Mount Powdercoat Telescoping Handle Maximum 5/8 Thick 2.5-38/41cm Width

So far I haven't used it. Want to bend up some 3/4 thin wall tubing t build a mini bike frame. Trying to figuire out how to mount it to something thet won't move, such as a lolly column in my garage. One thing I did modify was the adjustment knob/roller, by knurling it so it's easier to turn. Helps much.

Item works great, does every thing I needed, have used it quite a few time already, needs a solid base to bolt it too then creates fantastic curves

There are a number of these made by a number of different companies. I hoped the Vevor would be a well made version of this bender. I thought the fabrication was a bit crude with the pin hole in the handle not centered, and the base being decidedly warped from welding. Still, with a bit of straightening, it is a usable bender. You will need to look at YouTube videos and other company's instruction manuals to learn how to use the bender. Vevor's manual is useless.

Works well dose everything I need it to do I would how ever recommend getting the stand or bolting it down to a very sturdy base or stand

The first task on receiving this is to get it mounted. I had a bench grinder pedestal made with a bigger/thicker upright and bolted it to concrete with 8mm thread dynabolts. Then had to drill the top plate to fit - its not mounted squarely, but that's ok. Bent my first tube. All good. I am working my way up to 1” tube (at 7/8” now). You get a mark on the tube at the tube retainer. I have tried to put shim steel in to buffer the tube, it still marked, but not as deep. I have some 3mm leather to try, but will have to swap the retainer off the next size up die, and with 1” tube I wont have a next size. The only features I would like would be a carry case (i have seen other vendors with a case, but it doubles the price) and an angle pointer for repeatability when bending more tubes the same. My best suggestion is get extra tubing and practice before making your final parts.

If you do any metal work at all this makes bending one off parts or even many parts easier and not at a huge expense

About this tool and built a stand for it. Bent some tubing on it and everything seems to work fine. The only thing I changed was I used the larger tube retainer on the smaller diameter pipe so I could easily remove it if I have a bend in the middle of something. The pipe retainers tend to leave a little dimple in the metal but you can slip a piece of wood or leather in between the pipe and the retainer ring you're using the larger one and avoid dimpling the metal. You could also fabricate a slightly better tube retainer if you are so inclined.

As described. Solidly constructed and works very well on the 20mm steel tube I’m working with.. Would recommend this to anyone doing occasional tube bending but not wanting to spend thousands..

Looks like a good product. Very well packaged and all in good order. Haven’t tried it yet but it seems to be fairly solid.

Purchased this bench top tube bender for a garage project, and it's been fantastic. Simple to set up and operate, it delivers precise bends without any hassle. The build quality is so so. It's compact enough for my workspace yet powerful enough to handle various tubing materials. A must-have for DIY. Highly satisfied!
