The Imperial 364-FHB-08 Swivel Handle Tube Bender is a professional-grade tool engineered for precision bending of 1/2" O.D. tubing in demanding industrial and automotive environments. This robust bender provides technicians and mechanics with enhanced control and consistent results for critical applications such as HVAC, plumbing, and vehicle repair. Its ergonomic design and optimal leverage are crafted to reduce operator fatigue while ensuring accurate tube manipulation.
Key Features
- Swivel Handle Design: The patented swivel handle can be repositioned midway through a bend, preventing handles from crossing and allowing fabrication of bends up to 180 degrees with reduced effort and better control. This ergonomic design provides exceptional maneuverability, ensuring improved access and comfortable operation in confined or awkward spaces. This makes the Imperial 364-FHB-08 a highly effective stride tool swivel handle tube bender for 1/2" tubing.
- Precision Bending: Engineered to produce accurate and consistent 90-degree bends without crimping or kinking, preserving the integrity and flow capacity of 1/2" O.D. tubing. It can also achieve bends up to 180 degrees.
- Durable Construction: Built with robust, professional-grade materials to withstand the rigors of daily industrial and automotive use, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. It conforms to Federal Specification GGG-B-191A Type III, Class 2.
- Optimal Leverage: Designed to deliver efficient leverage, making the bending process smoother, less strenuous, and significantly reducing operator fatigue during extended use.
- Maintains Tube Integrity: Prevents flat spots and damage, delivering smooth, clean bends that contribute to the longevity and performance of tubing systems. Compatible with soft copper, aluminum, brass, steel, and stainless steel tubing.
