CORSAIR Hydro X Series XT Hardline Bending Toolkit - Includes Hacksaw, Tube Reamer, Silicone Rod, Tube Bending Mandrel and Sawing Clamp

The hacksaw is cheaply made out of plastic and the saw blade is at an angle, making a clean straight cut impossible. You can try align the blade properly and tighten in place, but it seems to move again during use.Chamfer tool and bending tool are not exclusive to Corsair or this set and can be bought separate for cheap.I used the cutting jig with 14mm OD clear satin tubing from Corsair. Putting the tubing in the jig took away some of the satin finish, ruining the look of the tubing. The jig is also just cheap feeling and awkward to use in general and with it being made out of plastic, it’s very easy to cut into by mistake, especially with the angled hacksaw blade as mentioned above.

Only useful part was the pipe guide and borer. Saw and table mount pointless

All included tools have their uses, excellent for people who are just getting into custom watercooling.The handsaw is not always accurate as the blade flexes - it never cuts straight so have a file set ready.The deburring tool and the silicon insert are especially useful so do not damage/lose them.

Although most of the tools in this kit are alright, I'm disappointed in the bending guide, saw and saw clamp. All of these are either poorly designed or overpriced for what it is...Starting with the saw, it's really flimbsy (Mainly cheap plastic), for the same price based on the kit cost; I could easily get a fully metal one which would function better.The saw clamp is also plastic so it was horrible to guide my saw with, cutting into it sometimes (would've liked it if the ends were some sort of metal).Finally, the bending tool; based on its design, you have to insert the tube inside the device meaning you have to watch where you're going to bend the tube and to make sure that its not inside a multiple bend tube otherwise you'll have to break or restart each corner just to get the tool back. It's also too long so its cumbersome to use and there's no need for that. I'd personally recommend getting bending guides that have obtuse angles without covers as it'll make things much easier.Avoid this kit and get proper parts to substitute - overpriced for what you're getting.

Great kit for corsair tubing but the hacksaw is basically useless, yeah it's sharp but the blade came mounted at an angle and the mounting design was so poor its not possible to adjust it. This resulted in really skewed cuts even when trying to compensate. Really scratched up the vice block it comes with as that's made of plastic, it ended up with chunks missing from it after just 3 or 4 cuts.

I bought this to help me as a beginner hard liner. Bottom line- the cutting jig is soft plastic so that the hacksaw will immediately erode the end and make it useless after a single use, the bending jig is marked in such a way that your bend will never actually be in the place you want (plus it's impossible to get a sharp bend), the hacksaw is OK, but it's just a cheapo hacksaw, and the burr remover just creates a jagged end on your tube which then requires sandpapering anyway. The only bit I actually use is the silicon tube support.Just for clarity, I used this with Corsair hardline tube (which is good)Absolute rubbish from Corsair. Don't bother

Very straight forward and easy to use kit, got all what you need but it's double the price it should be.
