I read other satisfied reviews and know cps is generally a decent middle of the road brand but I was still hesitant to drop a few hundred on this bender set without knowing anyone personally that's tried it. Took a chance and bought it. I have only used it for one install so far but if everything holds up over the years I will be very satisfied with purchase.The color coded aluminum dies are very light weight but still seem like durable very good quality. Read complaints about no placement markers on the dies. I have zero issue as is but you could use a sharpie if you like and would clearly see your marks. Bender itself is strong steel and does have marker for when you reach 90 if you like to rely on that.After bending is complete it releases easily with a convenient one handed action. No pinched fingers like hilmor. No struggle to pull back handle. Smooth. Reverse bender worked great. Both reverse and regular alignment gave almost no wrinkling inside the bent 90, noticeably less than I usually get from hilmor or yj. And no lubricant was used either.Not the same as putting it thru actual regular usage over time but inspecting out of the box there's no concerns about durability if you take half decent care of your tools. Like anything else. After using it for an install, cost aside I'd hands down actually take this over any other brand. Factor in cost and that they give you the reverse bender included it's no contest.

Well, I'll be honest by saying I did not want to pay over $300 and buy one similar at my local suppliers because I was not sure how well it would work or if if would last long.So I purchased this one at a lower price but still had a recognizable brand name.I have used it 10 to 12 times so far and now do not use my spring benders any longer that I have sworn by for many years.The quality seems good and I like the color coding of the mandrels and the insert pieces.I have not had any issues with the copper crimping on the inside edge which could be due to quality copper.You'll also save on fittings which is nice, but mostly you'll not have the extra joints to braze which makes for a more reliable install which is nice.The only problem I have is "I should have bought this years ago"UPDATE: 4-23-2023Well its been 9 months and I have to say I'm very impressed with this tool. My installs not only look cleaner but are definitely more reliable because the bending of pipe out of the wall or ceiling, combined with a hand pump swager kit I purchased at the same time, has minimized braze joints and virtually eliminated the need for any couplings or 90 deg elbows.Plus this kit comes with the attachments to allow the tool to reverse the bend direction which I've used many times for clean and efficient piping into an AC or coil. Many kits don't come with the reversing parts - they have to be bought seperately.

The media could not be loaded.  Eu gostei do sistema de travamento dos mordentes de 1,4 a 1/2.Eu não gostei da falta de não travar as duas peças de fazer as curvas de forma em click ou seja ficar travando na hora da curva.
