Ridgid 35175 ratchet tube bender is used to bend tubing for plumbing, HVAC and automotive applications. It is capable of shaping pipes and tubes without collapsing or kinking them.
Working Mechanism:
- Ridgid 35175 ratchet tube bender utilises a lever-style mechanism with a ratchet-driven bend system for precise tubing bending. Users set the desired angle using calibrated markings, align the tubing and apply pressure to the lever handle.
- As pressure is exerted, the ratchet mechanism ensures gradual, controlled bending without risk of over-bending or deformation.
- Once the desired angle is achieved, the lever is released and the tubing is bent accurately for installation.
Features:
- This ratchet tube bender has calibrated angle markings from 0 to 180 degrees.
- It comes with a lever to apply steady leverage for bending without excessive effort.
- This ratchet tube bender can bend outside diameters up to 3/4 inches.
- The handle type of this ratchet tube bender is non-cushioned, providing a firm grip and control during operation.
