If you’re a plumber or HVAC hand who bends pipe every day, the is a little workhorse that makes light work of small‑diameter copper tube bends — no sweat, no guesswork on bend angles and none of the “did I mess up that elbow?” nonsense. The thing’s compact enough to stash in a pouch or truck drawer and still strong enough to take on tight spaces without feeling like you’re forcing it.

And here’s the part that matters on site: this tool handles 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm tubing right out of the box — that covers most microbore jobs we see day in, day out in domestic plumbing and refrigeration installs. You get clear angle markings right on the tool so you’re not eyeballing it — that’s real precision in the field.

Key Features:

• Multi‑Size Bending Capacity – Works for 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm tubes so you’re set for most small‑bore jobs without changing tools.
• Die‑Cast Construction – Solid metal body that takes day‑in, day‑out use without bending itself.
• Knurled Non‑Slip Grips – You get a secure hold even with greasy hands — critical when you’re cranking bends.
• Angle Markings – Marked graduations take the guesswork out of getting that 90° bend right.
• Compact Form Factor – Stashes easily in a tool bag and won’t drag you down when you’re crawling around ductwork.
