Built for Aussie HVAC/R pros, the Mastercool 70069-A 4-in-1 180° Tube Bender handles 3/16″, 1/4″, 5/16″ and 3/8″ O.D. tubing in one compact lever tool. It’s all-metal, accurate and made for clean bends on copper, aluminium and soft brass — perfect for installs, change-outs and service work. Fair dinkum handy when you’re up a ladder and need a reliable 180 without kinking.

Key Features & Trade Benefits

• 4-in-1 capacity (3/16″–3/8″ O.D.) — one bender covers the most common mini-split and refrigeration sizes, so there’s less kit to carry. 
• True 180° lever action — produce tight, consistent bends that seat neatly against walls and brackets, reducing rework and call-backs.
• All-metal construction — durable body that stands up to daily site use. Bloody good for rough roof spaces.
• Calibrated degree scale — hit repeatable angles fast for tidy runs and matching offsets across multiple bends.
• Compact, field-friendly form — works in tight plant rooms and ceiling voids where larger gear won’t fit.

Why This Product Matters

Picture this: you’re squeezing through a Sydney roof space to reroute a 1/4″ liquid line. With the 70069-A you mark, pull to 90°, index, then complete a smooth 180° without crushing the tube — job looks professional and pressures stabilise. Next day in Melbourne, same tool handles a few quick offsets on a fridge line in a café. One bender, consistent results — no dramas.

Pro Tip

All tubing has spring-back. For copper it’s minor, but for harder materials expect a couple of degrees. Slightly over-bend, then release to your target angle. Imperial’s instruction sheets outline this well and the principle applies to lever benders like this.

FAQs

Q: Will it kink 3/8″ soft copper at 180°?
With correct technique and steady leverage, you’ll get smooth 180s on soft copper. Allow for spring-back and use the degree scale for accuracy.

Q: Does it work for automotive brake lines?
Yes, for soft copper-nickel and similar 3/16″ lines. For hardened steel lines, use a dedicated heavy-duty bender.

Q: What else do I need for neat installs?
A mini tube cutter and a deburring tool will keep edges clean and prevent flares from cracking.
