Tube Bender – Hand Tool for 3 to 6 mm Lines with 15 mm Bend Radius

Tube Bender – A Clean Curve, Even Where Your Hands Barely Reach

A compact hand bender in aluminum alloy for tubing of 3, 4.75 and 6 mm in aluminum, brass or copper. The bend radius runs up to 15 mm, which gives a tight curve without kinking the wall. The tool measures 14.5 x 7.5 cm and fits any box.

Why choose a hand tube bender?

Bending thin tubing by hand almost always puts a crease in the worst possible place. A forming groove guides the material so the tube keeps its round section all the way through the curve. Because the tool is small, it still works inside a cabinet or behind a panel.

• Three sizes in one — grooves for 3 mm, 4.75 mm and 6 mm tubing.
• 15 mm bend radius — a tight curve where the tube stays round instead of flattening.
• Aluminum alloy — strong enough for copper and brass while staying light to hold.
• Compact body — 14.5 x 7.5 x 3.2 cm, usable in a tight space.
• Hand operated — no power and no bench vise needed.

A bend that looks like the tube shipped that way.

Seat the tube in the groove that matches its diameter and lock it before you start turning. Pull through in one continuous motion to the angle you want, since bending back afterward weakens the wall. Deburr the cut end before you form the curve.
