SATA ST97325 16mm Tube Bender

It is optimized for 16mm tubes and is suitable for copper, aluminum, and steel, giving you versatility across common tubing applications.

Key features include built-in angle indicators for repeatable bends, a rigid aluminum alloy bending plate for durability, and an ergonomic dual-material handle to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

Insert the tube into the bending area, align it with the angle indicator, lock it in place, and steadily operate the handle to reach the desired angle. Use gentle, controlled motions and, if needed, apply a light lubricant to the tube.

Choose the correct bend radius for the tube, feed the tube slowly, and support it along its length. Avoid forcing large angles in a single step; make incremental bends and keep the tube lubricated to reduce friction.

Common uses include shaping copper or aluminum lines for plumbing, HVAC refrigerant or coolant lines, automotive fuel or brake lines, and other small-diameter tube installations that require precise 0–180° bends.

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves, keep hands clear from the bending area, secure the workpiece on a stable surface, and inspect the tool for damage before use to prevent slips or breaks during bending.

All offer comparable 0–180° ranges; choose based on the exact tube size and any extra features you may need.

Base your choice on the tube diameter required by your project. If you need 16mm tubes, the ST97325 is the appropriate option; for smaller or larger tubes, select the corresponding size in the same family.

It combines a rigid aluminum bending plate for durability, precise angle indicators for repeatable results, and an ergonomic handle in a compact, portable package, helping you complete bends efficiently with less fatigue.

Keep the tool clean and dry when not in use, store it in a protected area, and periodically inspect the bending plate and indicators for wear. Light lubrication on moving parts can help maintain smooth operation.
