A pipe bender is a tool used to bend pipes and tubes into specific angles or shapes without breaking or damaging them. This tool is essential in various industries, including construction, plumbing, and automotive, where precise bends are required for proper installation and functionality. Pipe benders come in different types, such as manual and hydraulic, catering to various pipe sizes and materials. Using a pipe bender involves placing the pipe in the tool, aligning it with a designated angle, and applying force to create the bend. Proper technique is crucial to ensure the integrity of the pipe and achieve the desired angle. Common materials that can be bent include steel, copper, and PVC.
