Diversitech HPB1701 Pocket Brake Hand Tool

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH HPB1701 is a pocket brake hand tool designed for bending copper and soft metal tubing in the field. Compact enough to carry in a tool pouch, it gives HVAC technicians and plumbers a portable solution for making precise tubing bends without returning to a truck or shop setup. Its pocket-sized form factor is suited to tight service calls and confined mechanical spaces where a full-size tube bender is impractical. Trade professionals who work with refrigerant lines, domestic water supply runs, and other small-diameter soft tubing will find this tool fits naturally into a standard service kit.

The HPB1701 is intended for use in residential and light commercial HVAC and plumbing applications. It is most commonly used when routing copper refrigerant lines, making offset bends during evaporator coil changeouts, or bending short tubing runs during plumbing rough-in and repair work. Its compact design makes it well suited to service technicians who need a reliable bending tool on hand without carrying bulky equipment.
