Corsair Hydro X Series, XT, Hardline Bending Toolkit, (12mm &14mm), Universal

Super convenient if you’re new to heat bending hard tubing. A lot of experienced water cooling builders have their own methods based on experience but if you’re starting off, the tools included really help you learn. My first bends came out amazing thanks to this set.

OK

A bit pricy

The performance was amazing, it did its job and was very easy to use, the fit was Amazon and it had to be based on your tube size, no leakage at all, the fit was crazy, it’s worth the price!

I want to start off by saying my rating is likely due to this being my first time setting up water cooling, working with bending pipe, and the frustration that comes with it. To start off, the cutting jig was made of plastic. I would assume it's primary purpose alongside holding the pipe is to ensure you're sawing straight. It was very easy to saw into/shave off the cutting jig's material without noticing. The tightening screws were sharp enough to leave marks on the hardline due to being metal. Next, the bending mandrel is also plastic, so it didn't seem optimal with using a heat gun anywhere near it. Whilst being careful heating the pipe, it had melted. It was also not useful if you planned to do more than one angle on the same pipe. I didn't have any issue with the saw or deburring tool, but at this point, half the bundled goods were useless. I would suggest spending just a little bit more for a bending kit made with more optimal materials.

It's not the fault of Corsair, it's just the nature of a hacksaw. You will want to sand the cut on a flat surface to get it even. I ended up buying a 12in miter saw in the long run.

This is the most overpriced piece of plastic junk I've ever bought. Corsair usually doesn't disappoint but I guess they're known for their PC parts, not tools. The saw is flimsy and horrible, and everything else is just as bad. It's all lightweight, cheap plastic. My bending tool actually ended up melting too and Corsair refuses to refund me. Do NOT buy.

Really nice kit. Should be standard issue to hard tubing enthusiasts. I'm even using the saw to cut 1/4" flat acrylic, and it works great for that, too!
