Tube Benders

Smoothly bend hard metal tubes, such as steel and titanium, without causing crimps or kinks. Unlike other tube benders that have aluminum mandrels, these tube benders have durable steel mandrels to withstand repeated used with hard metal as well as soft. Long handles create extra leverage to bend hard metal with less force. In addition to making bends as small as 15°, these benders have a rotating handle to make bends from 90° to 180° without ever crossing handles.

Tube Straighteners

Pull coiled tubing through these straighteners to make it smooth and level. They have acetal roller wheels that press your tubing into shape without marring the finish. Unlike pliers, which create kinks and bends that can restrict flow, these straighteners won't damage your tubing. To straighten tubing with different diameters, twist the adjustment knob to change the space between the wheels. Keep these straighteners steady by clamping them into your vise or mounting them to a work surface through holes on the base.
