Mophorn Pipe Bending Machine Pipe Bending Machine Multilayer Tube Bending Machine YP-9 7 Dies 1"-3" Compact Desktop, Manual Tube Bender Handle Length 44"

My YP-9 Bench Top Bender was delivered ahead of the estimated delivery window, so super-fast shipping. It was packed in a cardboard box, which was heavily damaged, but other than a few small paint chips all the tool parts were present and in good condition.The tool seems well built and works great. I was easily able to bend 2" x 3/16" mild steel bar (cold roll) with a nice clean radius. I would recommend clamping the workpiece to the stop block to prevent it slipping as you progress through the bend.The only criticism I'll offer is that the manual is pretty rudimentary with poor diagrams. Luckily this is not a complicated tool to figure out, so that is not dire enough to be worth a star.

Some of the other reviews commented on the sloppy tolerances between the pins and holes. This is very true and it's pretty awful, but I found a simple fix. I bought three 5/8"x8", partially threaded, Grade 8 bolts and cut them to the correct lengths (two @ 4", one @ 3"). The unthreaded portion of these bolts was more than long enough, and fits very closely in most of the holes. A couple had enough extra paint build up to get in the way, but that was easily cleaned out. I did also have to drill out the 90 degree die slightly, but all the other dies were fine.With this modification it doesn't feel like a cheap piece of crap anymore, and you can actually make some consistent bends with it. No idea why the manufacturer didn't pick pins that match the hole size, but at least it's a simple and fairly cheap fix.

Does just what I needed!

Mine came lose in a box. Only assembly “instructions” are for one with the stand. No instructions. You have to find someone on YouTube to show you how to use one like it. Only thing in a package was the handle. The handle rides loose and moves vertical freely once pinned in place. The base of mine doesn’t look like pictured. The bolt holes for the rear roller don’t line up. I got two screws instead of four. Not enough washers or nuts. I’m missing two small spacers. Description says 7 dies and I got 5. Knowing all of this, I would suggest buying one only if you know how to build one yourself with the box of “spare parts” sent to you after you buy the rest of the parts at your local hardware store. Very VERY disappointed.

Was able to narrow some 1”-.120 wall stainless steel handlebars with the 3” die. These bars were already bent on a 3” radius so it worked out great. 4 stars because the extension handle isn’t as robust as the rest of the materials, and it ended up bending too.

I was totally impressed with the quality of bender. Used it to make custom shelf brackets that turned out great. This bender will definitely be one of my go to in my shop. Great Value for the money, highly recommend it.

Worth the money

Very difficult to see any of the information on the directions. I have no idea if i set this thing up correctly.
