A tube bender is a tool used to shape and bend metal tubes into various angles and curves. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing. Tube benders can be manual or powered, allowing for precise bends without kinking or damaging the material. These tools come in different sizes and designs, suitable for bending various types of tubing, including steel, aluminum, and copper. Some advanced models even feature digital displays for accurate measurements. Proper use of a tube bender can enhance the efficiency of projects that require custom tubing, such as exhaust systems or furniture design.
