Imperial Tool 370FH Triple Head 180 Degree Tube Bender, 3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2”

Worked well. Quality was as expected.

Thanks

It’s a nice smooth bender. I used it for 3/8” aluminum tubing and did fine. It does mark up the tubing some on the outside. If not for that I’d give it a 5 star. This is my first tubing bender, so that may be normal and I’m over critical.

Very easy to use once you figure out the bends.Just read and follow the directions.I have tried several benders and thus one was the best value for the money.

I've been buying tools for more than 20 years, but this is the first time I feel sufficiently inspired by a product to write a review.The tool came ahead of schedule, beautifully packaged and in pristine condition.I say this because it is rare these days to receive a tool so well presented and packaged. For a $50 tube bender, this may as well have been an Apple computer product!As for the tool is elf, at first I was a little skeptical. As pretty as it may be, it felt a little on the light side; I guess that it's cast aluminum. However, it proved itself to be up to the task.The project was to make a frame for a sailboat line bag. I had chosen a heavy wall (0.0863) stainless steel tube (also purchased from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XNAKKK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), that is perfect for tapping with a 3/8" fine thread tap (ID is almost identical to the recommended "O" size drill bit for this tap).The tube bent (relatively) effortlessly, with no kinks or marring of the surface. The tube is annealed, so it's the right kind of tube tube to use for bending. But for such a heavy-walled tube I was pleasantly surprised at how well the bender handled it.Right bender to bend this particular tube, and much cheaper than other benders ($200+) recommended for bending stainless steel tube.

i would give it 0 stars if i could. the item was broken in the box and i tried to make it work and the copper tubing will not fit into the slots to size.

Been using it for years so I'm used to it by this point but measuring a bend on this thing is a little bit tricky and I wish the hook would swing out of the way like the larger rigid models. Also being triple head, I wonder why these companies don't put the smaller quarter inch mandrel towards the inside and the half inch on the outside. It would make it much easier to get your tubing in place. I do HVAC for work and I would rather a bender that was 3/8 1/2 and 5/8 but nobody makes that.

This is a super nice bender, you can get some that are a little bit more compact, but this can do pretty much any size you would want to do for most things all in one unit and it’s really easy to use. I haven’t found anything this doesn’t really do well it’s very durable and the price was very reasonable.
