In the field of plumbing, the manipulation of pipes and tubes is essential. Sears has a variety of tools allowing for the simple bending, cutting, and crimping of tubes.
Standard tubes purchased at retail stores are often single straight tubes. However, as any plumber knows, tubing within a confined area often requires skillful bending and turning in order to maximize the space available. A simple yet versatile tool for professionals as well as amateurs is the tube bender. Using most often a clamping action, a tube bender creates the necessary torque in order to deform a tube without causing structural damage or collapse. An Imperial tube bender, known for its quality and durability, features calibrated markings for accuracy and cushioned grips for comfortable usage.
For tubes that are simply too long or difficult to bend, a tube cutter may be an even better solution. Using a Superior tube cutter, one can adjust the length of a tube as needed and then attach the tubes to joining pieces for the right angles. A Superior tube cutter often costs as little as tubing itself and can be used in a wide variety of scenarios. Its revolutionary cutting technology also allows for the least deformation of the tube during the cut.
Interestingly, sometimes deformation is necessary in order to successfully connect tubes together with other pieces. This process is called crimping, and can be done at home with a simple crimping tool. Similar in looks and function to a clamp, the Zurn Pex crimping tool bends and deforms tubes so that they may easily hold each other or another non-metal material. Furthermore, the Zurn Pex crimping tool is economically designed to take up as little room as possible. As a cautionary tip, always check to see the range of tube diameters that a tool can work with in order to avoid unnecessary damage to the tube.
Even an inexperienced household handyman can work like an expert plumber with the right tube manipulation tools. Sears carries excellent tube benders, cutters, and crimping tools that allow professional shaping of tubes and pipes.
