Tubing – Lightweight Aluminum HVAC Tool","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeet the Antstone 3-in-1 Tube Bender\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for soft copper and aluminum tubes, this compact tool brings three common tube sizes under one lightweight body. With an outer diameter range of 1\/4\", 3\/8\" and 1\/2\", it covers most standard HVAC and refrigeration tasks without swapping tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bending radii are listed as 0.82\", 1.14\", and 1.43\" (21 mm, 29 mm, 36.5 mm) for smooth, controlled curves that help minimize kinks and flattening along the bend line. The 0 to 180 degree range lets you dial in gentle curves or sharper turns as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustrial-grade yet portable, the Antstone bender is built to travel between job sites. The aluminum alloy body resists corrosion and stays cool to touch during extended sessions, while the compact footprint fits into tool bags or pouches without bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-in-1 design is a notable convenience: you can switch tube sizes on the same axis, reducing downtime and tool clutter. The soft rubber handle cushions the grip, helping reduce fatigue when performing several bends in a row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey design highlights include an aluminum alloy body and a three-size capability, teamed with a lightweight frame that supports precise, repeatable bends in tight spaces. This makes it a practical option for technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you can accomplish with this tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare soft copper and aluminum tubing for HVAC loops, refrigeration lines, or automotive repairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAchieve consistent bend angles across three tube sizes with a single tool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry an efficient, portable bending solution to field service jobs or shop setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage tips and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the tube wall thickness stays within 0.027\" to 0.059\" (0.7 mm to 1.5 mm) to prevent damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply steady, even pressure and support the tube during the bend for best results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the tool clean and dry after use to preserve the alloy finish and grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this tool supports a wide range of common tasks, results depend on material quality and application.
