The design balances leverage and compactness so you can form accurate bends in cramped spaces and then trim and deburr the tube for a clean installation. Everything nests inside a durable hand-held case so the set is ready for jobsite transport or garage storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow accurate are the bends and what tube sizes does it support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes seven aluminum bender heads that cover common tubing diameters from 1\/4\" up to 7\/8\" O.D., enabling repeatable bends for plumbing, HVAC and radiant-floor systems.
