Description

Tube adjuster

The invention relates to a hand tool dedicated to a metal pipe, and more particularly, to a pipe shaper, which is used for straightening the metal pipe so that the metal pipe forms a straight line or approaches a straight line.

Copper pipe is widely used as a conveying pipe for fluids such as cold / heat medium, water, gas, etc. Copper pipe is a metal pipe that is easy to bend. In the field of domestic and industrial pipes, copper pipe is used in air conditioning systems, central heating systems and gas supply systems Copper pipes are also used in automobile brake systems and fuel systems.

When made of metal pipes made of various metals, including copper pipes, they are often several meters in length. They are usually packaged in a rolled form to improve the convenience of transportation and storage. When copper pipes are installed, they are easy to bend and install.
