I like the look of a nice install that was done properly with a bender.

[@TonyRodriguez-ok2ix]

the tubing bender saves money

[@vieuxacadian9455]

I love My Hilmor tubing bender and Hydraulic swager sets . Todays techs and installers have much better tools than I had 40 years ago .

[@TaddyDigest]

Himor has some good stuff

[@07JR]

Good job teaching the new generation

[@TaddyDigest]

Thanks 👍 My Friend I am trying to help 🙂

[@carltucker5254]

Thanks for this bender video I just bought a bender and it came with all the stuff that is in this kit. You walked me right through all my questions so thanks a lot. I know how to set up an use it!

[@sirwanaziz7497]

Thank you for this video 👍👍

[@robertwilliams6288]

Thanks Taddy just bought the Vevor kit you are using in the video don't have alot of experience using a bender like this and found your video this cleared up some questions I had going over the manual thank you for helping me get started very informative video.

[@TaddyDigest]

Glad I could help

[@brucerobak145]

Yep, bending as much tubing is the way to go. Not only is the bend radius longer with less turbulance then a fitting but also less soldering and leak possibilities.

[@TaddyDigest]

absolutely I agree

[@boobah1192]

Taddy... salute my friend 🙏🏾 .. i have the Vevor bending tool. Using the instructions provided, my tube still has the tendency to somewhat Flatten at the bend.. haven't figured out a fix for that yet.

Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve been looking for a bender for awhile now. I had my eye set for the Hilmor tube bender as I’ve seen other techs use in the field and they swear by it. Only thing is they are almost 500 bucks online😮 to which I decided to hold off. If you ever had a chance, maybe you can do a comparison video.

[@TaddyDigest]

Glad I could help. So glad I did this video YOU are the reason. Thank YOU

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

Great video thanks Tad. Regards from Australia 🦘🦘

[@TaddyDigest]

Thanks for watching!

[@machaf]

Everytime I bend it get wrinkles in the copper...Is the copper quality or what? I've tried adding lube to the bender chuck seems to help a bit. Any suggestions?

[@marvinsellers4457]

I’ve found that using a little zoom oil on former it helps but the one I’ve have is aplastic former

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you for this knowledge

Hi Taddy. I LOVE this video. I love the clarity of the video and the audio. Also I like your style, easy to understand and the flawless way you deliver. After trying to decide what bender to buy, thanks to this video, I got one of these for my own. I just got it today. I haven't used it yet but I can attest to the quality of this tool, I love it already. My only question I have is why the dies or the crossbars do not have the usual marked lines on them for using the center method of bending. Do you use the sides of main handle?? Or is there something I missed in the manual and instructions. It is perplexing me why they left out such a small but important feature. Thank you for your great videos. I'll be watching you!!!

[@soufian6014]

Black max bender help me a lot

[@TaddyDigest]

I have not heard of that brand I will check that out Thank you

[@rickross7796]

Technicly your supposed to flow nitro while brazing especially on mini splits adding up all the hassle of setting up to braze a tubing bender is better great video

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you for watching bro yes always braze with nitrogen

[@angeloandverny]

Awesome video tad! How do you feel about the other kinds of benders like spring and lever types?

[@TaddyDigest]

I use spring and lever I have both I keep a 5/8 spring for mini splits 3 ton and I keep a lever with me as well

[@angeloandverny]

@@TaddyDigest Would you say the ratcheting type would be most practical? Or do you use the spring and lever for specific reasons? Thanks for the help your the best!

[@donaldstepp4850]

Every fitting costs time too. You have to braze and leak test

[@vasileiosbakas9754]

Hey bud, have you used it on a 7/8'' pipe? Service guy here and don't want to spend tons of money on a bender. Good job keep up !

[@TaddyDigest]

I used it on 7/8 pipe this last week it worked great

[@TonyRodriguez-ok2ix]

vevor

[@lasersbee]

5:46... That round Block groove is too wide for that pipe... it has a space between the Block groove and the Pipe... That is why your pipe was flattened. For 90 degree bends just line it up with the Rack on the rear wall. The 1st pipe was at ~ 70 degrees and the 2nd pipe was at ~120 degrees.

[@citysideimprovements8876]

Just got mine. Pinches and deformed every 3/4 and 7/8 I tried

[@citysideimprovements8876]

It smashes pipe
