- The Harbor Freight (or technically) Pittsburgh Tubing Roller has a lot of mixed reviews. Some people even say it's unusable right out of the box. In today's video, we unbox it for ourselves and make some modifications that help correct its fatal flaw. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for weekly videos and build ideas!

Why does harbor freight no longer sell the square dies.
I've had my conduit roller for a while, I don't use it as much as I used to, but I'm not gonna give it up. Its they only product for DIY'ers that will make nice smooth curves. Great Vid
Thanks for the comment Patricia. Seems like a no brainer for people making arches or large radius bends a lot!
Nice. Thanks for the vid! I am at Harbor Freight all the time, and honestly didn't know they had this tool.
You’re welcome! It’s pretty cool. Kinda pricey but may be worth the investment if you’re doing a lot of large radius bends. Thanks for the comment!
Great video, my friend! I’m looking to get one too, do you know what is the max wall thickness capable to bend? I want it for building few sun shades at home.
Any idea how to keep the round tube from spinning in the roller? I can get a straight bend no matter what I do.
Great video. I'm a huge HF fan and have never seen this.
Thanks Aksel! Thinking of using it for some boat mods?
I like Harbor Freight. Wouldn't you think they would want their product to work right out of the box?! Thank you for the video!
You would think so but hopefully this simple fix will keep it working for years to come! Thanks for the comment
They are inconsistent among tools as far as quality is concerned. They used to have great “central machine” tools but now the few items they still have for “central machine” tools are nowhere near as good as they used to have. Dial indicator on a drill press I wanted basically said it was a throw-away tool.
You should invest in a scissors... or, if you flip over where the two ends of the plastic binding join, you can just pull it apart.
That's a good tip for pulling them apart. I didn't realize how dull the knife was until I had already started recording. They don't trust me with sharp objects anyways...
so, not 1" emt?
It says it won’t work with 1” EMT out of the box which is unfortunate. Swag off-road makes a die for 1” EMT but it’s kind of expensive.
