The YD12-007 Heavy Duty Floor Type Manual Pipe Bender is a multi-functional equipment designed to address the pain points of "multi-diameter pipe bending needs in small-scale processing scenarios, difficulty in making special-shaped workpieces, and low flexibility in equipment installation/movement". With "7 full-specification dies + right-angle attachment + mountable & portable structure" as the core, it balances multi-scenario adaptation, functional diversity and operational convenience, solving the problems of traditional manual pipe benders such as "few dies with narrow adaptation, single function, and difficult movement". It provides a flexible and efficient pipe bending solution for hardware processing, maintenance, home decoration and other scenarios, with core advantages as follows:
- 7 Dies for Full Coverage, No Need to Change Equipment for 1"-3" Diameters
Equipped with 7 sets of round dies covering 1"-3" common diameters, no additional purchase is required, adapting to multi-scenario pipe bending needs:
- Seamless Switch Between Multi-Diameters: From small 1" diameter (e.g., home decoration pipe connectors) to large 3" diameter (e.g., agricultural machinery U-bolts), only the corresponding die needs to be replaced. The dies are fixed with "snaps + positioning pins", no tools are needed for replacement, and it can be completed with one hand in 30 seconds (e.g., switching from 1" die to 2-1/2" die). Compared with models requiring separate die purchases, the adaptation efficiency is increased by 3 times.
- Precise Bending Without Damage: The inner hole of the die is polished (accuracy ±0.1mm), perfectly fitting the outer wall of mild steel pipes. No scratches or wrinkles occur during bending. For example, when bending a 1-1/2" mild steel pipe, the roundness retention rate at the bending angle is ≥90%, meeting the dual requirements of "appearance + strength" for hardware parts. The dies have built-in body storage slots to prevent loss, adapting to the "alternating work with multi-diameters" scenario.
- Right-Angle Attachment for Easy Production of Various Workpieces
Equipped with a right-angle attachment, it breaks the limitation of traditional pipe benders (only capable of bending pipes) and supports custom special-shaped workpieces:
- Multi-Function Expansion: With the right-angle attachment, it can make letters (e.g., "L"/"U"-shaped metal parts for hardware logos), anchor bolts (for fixing equipment in auto repair shops), U-bolts (for fixing pipelines in agricultural machinery), pipe clamps (for pipe installation and fixing), handles (for tool accessories), etc. Compared with ordinary pipe benders, it expands more than 5 functions, meeting the "one machine for multiple purposes" needs of small-scale processing.
- Simple Operation & Easy to Learn: The right-angle attachment is quickly connected to the body via bolts, with attached positioning scale lines. When making U-bolts, the length of both ends of the bolt can be set according to needs (accuracy ±1mm), no repeated measurement is required. The production efficiency is 4 times higher than manual bending, and the workpieces have high consistency.
- Mountable & Portable Dual Modes, No Limitations in Scenario Adaptation
Adopting a "pre-drilled mounting + lightweight" design, it supports both fixed installation and portable use:
- Stable Fixed Installation: The body is equipped with 4 pre-drilled 5/8” holes, which can be fixed on the workbench or ground (floor-type use) via expansion screws. The body has no shaking when bending 3" large-diameter steel pipes. Compared with models without installation structure, the stability is increased by 60%, adapting to the "fixed workstation batch processing" scenario.
- Flexible Portable Use: With a net weight of only 24kg, it can be carried by an adult male alone, and can be placed on trucks or trailers as a "vehicle-mounted pipe bender" (e.g., outdoor auto repair, on-site home decoration). It only takes 1 minute to move from the warehouse to the workstation 20 meters away. Compared with heavy floor-type pipe benders (mostly over 50kg), the mobility is increased by 100%, adapting to the "mobile work" scenario.
- Labor-Saving Manual Operation, Strong Performance Despite Lightweight
- Lever Handle Reduces Intensity: The 400mm extended operating handle uses the principle of leverage. When manually bending a 1-1/4” mild steel pipe with 5/16” wall thickness, the pressing force is ≤50N, which is 40% more labor-saving than models with short handles. Adult women can also operate it easily, avoiding the problem of "tiring manual pipe bending".
- Precise Positioning Ensures Quality: The body is equipped with 0°-180° angle scales (one positioning point every 10°, accuracy ±1°), combined with a cast iron positioning block. The pipe will not shift during bending. For example, when making a 90° right-angle pipe clamp, it can be formed in one time without deviation, no secondary correction is needed, and the pipe bending qualification rate is over 97%.

Hardware Factory Making Pipe Clamps
A small hardware factory makes 100 1-1/2” steel pipe clamps for a construction project, using the YD12-007: Fix the equipment on the workbench, install the 1-1/2” die, position with the right-angle attachment, and manually operate the handle to bend the steel pipe into a 90° right angle; 7 sets of dies require no additional purchase, and the production time for a single pipe clamp is shortened from 8 minutes to 3 minutes. 100 pipe clamps are completed in only 5 hours, adapting to the "batch pipe clamp processing" scenario.

Auto Repair Shop Making Anchor Bolts
An auto repair shop makes 10 1-1/4” mild steel anchor bolts (for fixing repair racks) for maintenance workstations, using the YD12-007: Install the 1-1/4” die, set the bolt length with the right-angle attachment, and manually bend it into a U-shape; the equipment can be used temporarily next to the workstation without fixed installation, and the production time for one anchor bolt is about 5 minutes, adapting to the "on-site custom bolt making in auto repair shops" scenario.

On-Site Home Decoration Making Pipe Connectors
A home decoration worker makes 15 1” galvanised pipe connectors (material compatibility with the equipment to be confirmed) for the basement of a villa, using the YD12-007: Carry the equipment to the decoration site, use it directly on the ground without installation; replace the 1” die and bend it into a 45° connector to adapt to the on-site pipe layout, avoiding the problem of "mismatched prefabricated part sizes", adapting to the "on-site processing in home decoration" scenario.

Agricultural Machinery Maintenance Making U-Bolts
An agricultural machinery maintenance station makes 5 2-1/2” mild steel U-bolts (for fixing agricultural machinery pipelines) for a tractor, using the YD12-007: Install the 2-1/2” die, and use the positioning scale to bend the steel pipe into a 180° U-shape; the 24kg lightweight design allows easy carrying to the maintenance table, manual operation is labor-saving, and the production time for one U-bolt is about 10 minutes, adapting to the "custom part making in agricultural machinery maintenance" scenario.
A1: Bending stainless steel pipes is not recommended, as it may easily damage the dies and result in poor performance. The equipment is rated for mild steel; the hardness of stainless steel pipes (approx. HB 200) is much higher than that of mild steel (HB 130-150). Forced bending will cause wear and deformation of the die inner hole, and even offset the body under force; if stainless steel pipe bending is required, a dedicated stainless steel pipe bender (with harder dies) should be selected to avoid equipment damage caused by over-material use.
A2: Yes, it can fit in the trunk of most ordinary family cars. The equipment dimension is approx. 850×250×250mm, and the trunk of most family cars (depth ≥900mm, width ≥1000mm) can accommodate it. During transportation, it is recommended to wrap it with foam pads (to avoid collision and scratches) and store the dies separately in a small box to prevent the dies from falling off during transportation; one person can lift the equipment into the trunk without additional tools, adapting to the "family car transportation" scenario.
A3: It is mostly due to incorrect die adaptation or excessive pipe wall thickness, which can be checked in the following steps: ① Check if the die size is 2". If a 1-3/4” die is mistakenly installed, jamming occurs due to excessive clearance, and the corresponding size die must be replaced immediately. ② If the die is properly adapted, confirm whether the pipe wall thickness is ≤1/4” (rated wall thickness for 2" diameter of the equipment). Excessive wall thickness will prevent the pipe from bending smoothly, and the steel pipe meeting the requirements must be replaced. ③ If jamming still occurs, apply a small amount of lubricating oil (e.g., mechanical grease) to the die inner hole to reduce friction between the pipe and the die, ensuring smooth bending.
A4: Rust can be removed and maintained through simple steps to extend the die service life: ① Gently polish the rusted part with fine sandpaper (400 grit) to avoid damaging the die inner hole accuracy. ② Wipe clean with a cotton cloth after polishing, and apply a layer of anti-rust oil (e.g., engine oil) to form a protective film. ③ After daily use, place the dies back into the body storage slots to avoid exposure to humid environments; if the rust is severe (e.g., rust depth ≥0.1mm), it is recommended to contact the manufacturer to replace with new dies (single set of dies priced at approx. 50 yuan) to ensure pipe bending quality.
