Like the heavy duty 464-FH, it features the patented ROTO-LOK™ two stage handle that allows east fabrication of bends up to 180°. It also features optimized bending grooves that allow the user to bend the tubing in the smallest radius possible to enable tighter turns and minimize the space taken by the bends. The Following tubing thickness can be bent on the 470FH tube bender: • Soft copper - .030-.032" wall • 304 Stainless Steel - .030-032" wall |

470-Fh Triple Head Tube Bender
really like this bender. Nice smooth bends with no appreciable deforming of 3/8 soft tube. Index marks and clear instructions to help with angle and setback.

Makes great bends with tight radius. Like all tubing benders its a pain to use, but it does work better than any other I have used. Its also small and fits in the thin drawer in my tool cabinet. Would buy again.
Just purchased this yesterday and it arrived today (less than 24 hours). Amazing service from AircraftSpruce! Thanks. The device is just as depicted and works well. Although there are no markings on the device itself for the 3/16 diameter the instructions indicate to use the 1/4 groove.
Great product. Makes beautiful, precise bends every time with no gouging or marking of the tube like some other benders. The bend mark graduations are dead accurate too!
Good small radius bender for economical price. The triple head feature that provides smaller radius bends in the smaller diameter tubes is the best feature. The only downside is casting mold lines around the tube grooves are rough and need to be filed smooth to avoid denting the tubing.
Worked great on 3/8 , 5052 aluminum. Good instructions. So so on 3/8 copper. A little ruffling(?) on the far side of a 180 bend.
Excellent bender. Using for 1/4 & 3/8 alum tubing (fuel and brake lines) while building RV14A. Accurate markings, but could be better labeled. Instructions are good, but small size and cheap paper.
Nice compact tool, the multi-position handle is a nice design feature. However, the cast in stop that pivots the head correctly broke off after very light use in thin wall stainless. The warranty is not very good, so I would stick to soft copper with this tool.
