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.

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.

Terrible product. The hack saw is incredibly cheap quality and the cutting brace is sloped so you can not achieve a clean cut. The corsair VTubing is also one of the worst products I have ever used. It is incredibly brittle and will break and shatter with almost any tension. I will not be using corsair ever again for water cooling.

OK

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.

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!

Overall this set up is a must for the Corsair Hardline series tubes as any other cutting device will break or shatter the Corsair tubing. It takes technique such as not using hard pressure but long soft stokes to get a "fairly" straight cut. The miter box helps, but a perfect cut is non existent. If you want to save money, just go to hardware store and get a small hand saw, order a 30 cm long silicone insert, a metal drill ran reamer as this plastic handheld one will get the job done so you can insert tube in fitting, but it will look terrible. The tool to help with bending angles did not work for me personally, but it may for someone else. Save your money and just get those items elsewhere.
