Wostore Spring Tubing Benders Kit for Pipe O.D. 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, and 5/8 Inch 5 in 1 Tube Bender Set

These work GREAT!! I use them in combination with a pair of tube bending pliers (same thing a tubing bender, but pliers). That gives me optimal bend without kink. But, even hand bending with these was super easy and my bends came out kink-free! I love these things. I've always heard that these are "old school" for old plumbers and fridge guys. Well, I guess the next time you see me at IHOP at 3AM, I'll be sober and starting my day, because old guys rule. Honestly, having these on hand has really been a game changer, they've all the common sizes of tubing, and they mostly fit inside each other, so they save room in your toolbox. If I had to choose between a tube slinky like these and a tubing bender, I'm going tube slinky, every time. 100% worth the money. Paid for themselves in 30 seconds on a job. Put them in your toolbox and thank me later.

I always wanted a set of these in case it was ever needed. They appear to be heavy and stout and should work very well.

Worked great for bending gas line for the house. Would recommend.. No kinks in my copper tubing using this

If you ever do any work with copper tubing, these are must own. They allow you to make fairly small radius bends in the tube without kinking or creasing or making any damaging deformities. There is nothing very special about this set, they just work and can be used repeatedly. Even if used only one time, I recommend purchasing this.

Useless tool. Too short to bend by hand.

They look of excellent quality

I have used Spring Benders for a long time. They are great for 'soft' copper - like that used in Refrg and Gas lines. The harder the material, the less these will work. What you need to understand is that the strength of the spring allows you to bend the pipe without kinking it. The spring can NOT allow the pipe to deform (from round) and must fit closely around the pipe without loosing its own shape. This requires very strong wire. The instructions suggest putting one bender inside the pipe and one outside - be aware if you do NOT fit the right spring in the pipe, you can actually trap the inside spring in the pipe once you make the bend.One tip: Twist the Spring Bender TIGHT on the pipe at the same time you bend it, making it work more effectively. UNtwist it to help slide it off after making the bend.

Didn't make it through 1st use. Springs are supposed to break, not bend. Technically this isn't a spring nor is it made from spring steel. Best to try something else.
