FAQs

What types of tubing can this straightener be used on?

This tool is specifically designed for soft copper tubing and is compatible with common sizes such as 3/16", 5mm, 1/4", 6mm, 3/8", and 10mm.

How do I select the correct groove for my tubing?

Match the diameter of your tubing to the corresponding groove size on the straightener. The tool features clearly marked or intuitively sized grooves for each compatible diameter.

Can this tool fix very sharp kinks?

While it can improve moderate bends and minor kinks, heavily flattened or sharp kinks may not be fully straightened. Multiple passes and careful application are recommended.

Is this tool suitable for aluminum tubing?

The straightener is optimized for copper tubing. Performance on aluminum may vary, and it is not guaranteed to be effective or prevent damage.

How often should I clean the tool?

It's best to wipe the tool clean after each use to remove debris. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically as needed, especially if it becomes stiff.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Tubing not straightening effectively

Ensure you are using the correct groove for the tubing size. Apply steady, even pressure and make multiple slow passes. Check if the bend is too severe for the tool.

Tool feels stiff or difficult to use

Clean the rollers and internal mechanism of any dust or debris. Ensure the tubing is properly seated within the groove.

Tool leaves marks on the tubing

This is sometimes unavoidable with metal straightening tools. Ensure the tubing is clean and free of grit before use. Gentle passes may minimize marking.
