Mastercool 70067 Lever Type Tube Bender (7/8″ O.D.) — a trade-grade, open-side bender that delivers smooth, short-radius 180° bends in soft copper, aluminium and brass for HVAC/R installs. Calibrated angle markings and solid leverage mean clean, repeatable results with less effort. Too easy.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- 7/8″ O.D. capacity (3/4″ nominal) — sized for common suction lines; keeps bends tidy and flow-friendly.
- Open-side design — slips over tube anywhere; perfect when the run’s already tacked in. Faster setup, fewer headaches.
- 180° short-radius capability — achieve tight, consistent bends without flattening when used on suitable materials.
- Calibrated angle scale — read, bend, and go; improves accuracy and reduces rework.
- 3″ centreline radius — predictable geometry that helps maintain capacity and reduce pressure drop.
- Durable build — designed for daily site use; lever action gives serious grunt without bulky gear.
Why This Bender Matters
Up on a Sydney rooftop in summer, the crew had one last 7/8″ suction line to swing. No room for a big rig. Out came the 70067 — open-side on, mark the angle, pull to 90°, then to 180°. Nice round bend, insulation clears, and the unit fires up first go. Fair dinkum, that’s time saved and no call-backs. Tie this tool into your workflow and you’ll make cleaner runs across split systems and packaged units alike.
Round out your kit with a cutter and deburrer for pro-level finishes — see our Mini Tube Cutters and Imperial Deburring Tool.
Pro Tip
Mark centreline and spring-back. For repetitive bends, do a quick test piece and note the handle position where the scale reads true after spring-back — she’ll be right on the next pull. For lever-bender technique basics, Imperial’s guide is gold.
Compatibility & System Info
- Materials: Soft/annealed copper, aluminium, brass (HVAC/R grade).
- Applications: Split systems, heat pumps, refrigeration suction/liquid lines where 7/8″ O.D. bends are required.
- Bend Range: Up to 180° with calibrated angle readings.
Local Site Conditions (AU)
From coastal Brisbane plantrooms to hot roof spaces, tight bends keep lines neat and serviceable. This bender’s leverage makes ripper work of long days without a power source.

FAQs
Q: Will this bend hard copper or stainless?
It’s designed for soft/annealed copper, aluminium and brass. For tougher materials, use a heavy-duty bender rated accordingly and confirm the radius requirement.
Q: Does it show the angle as you bend?
Yes — the lever is calibrated so you can hit 45°, 90° and 180° consistently.
Q: What should I pair with this for best results?
A sharp cutter and a decent deburrer. Try our Mini Tube Cutters and Flaring & Swaging Kits.
