Overall rating: 3.1 / 5 from 60 reviews.
This is a great tool for unbending the crushed vent fins on an air conditioner. Takes a little practice to figure out how to best use it, but it does really work well.
Long handle makes this easy to use. Buy this first before wasting $ on one without the handle
please go slow teeth on tool will bend
really difficult to use if the teeth are all stuck together with plastic in between.. bent more fins than it fixed
this one WORKS, if you have trouble with small damaged tines, I cut some of the straightener fingers off and did narrower widths of the air-conditioned tines and it saved me from buying a new unit after hail storm
My AC fins were bent over sideways and this tool didn’t do squat to fix it… I used a screwdriver and repositioned them individually.
It would be a whole lot better if the grooves were metal
Arrived fast and worked flawlessly. Best item I have purchased on Amazon. Bent my fins on AC unit with a pressure washer. They were an eyesore for a long while. Only took about 20 minutes to straighten them. Wish I would have bought long ago. Thanks
This a replacement for the first one I ordered and the teeth arrived bent/damaged since they are plastic. Seems to work as it should.
Made of plastic
It’s really cheap plastic it didn’t do anything when I needed to clean and straighten fans on an evaporator coil
The plastic fin straightening tool didn't last past the first use.
Used one time and it was di e couldn’t even hold up to finish a single radiator
This is plastic junk!! Don't bother buying this!!
I used the product to take dents out of the fins in my AC unit. It worked for areas that had minor dents, but not so well on deeper dents in the fins. Overall it was a good purchase.
I bought this because it is made in the USA and looked better constructed than other radiation combs. This is the first time I have used one, I am happy with the result and the comb is still in great condition.
Tool's comb/:blades are plastic. The condenser fins are metal
It doesn’t work as easy as the videos. We sent ours back!
Used for small window unit.
Worked great fixing the fins on my package unit, a little rough to start the comb even with soapy water not sure how long it will last but it didnt take too much damage from the 2 units ive used it on so far.Not to shabby for the price!
Plastic junk that won't comb anything. Broken in the first 5 minutes. Plastic junk
The plastic fins are unfinished and not evenly separated and do not fit between the ac fins properly. I should have went with a metal one. I also waited too long to try it out and of course it's too late to return it. Hopefully my experience saves someone else's $20 because it's definitely not worth the money.
Didn’t work on our ac find at all.
Poor quality fins bent and broke after first use
The plastic that it's made out of the teeth are not 100% perfectly straight unless you straighten them yourself use caution very easy to straighten and it did straighten the coils just like it's supposed to
Thought I was getting a quality product but boy was I surprised.1st swipe with minimal pressure the cheap flimsy plastic started to shred.Didn't come close to doing its job.
It looks good but does not fit my ac fins. Not worth the money and a disappointment.
If you take your time and go slowly it will do a pretty good job. Will not last for many job maybe 2 or 3 uses if you baby it. Manufacturing not that good lots of leftover plastic in the fingers makes it hard to get it in the fins the first few time till it wears off. Overall would buy again because there are not many other options out there for window AC fins.
I expected better quality from this company. It will work on very small dings but not very well. The fins are made of cheap plastic and aren't straight.
Buying this was a waste of money. The comb is damaged and has a bunch of flash. This is a sorry excuse of a product.
This tool works well for straightening the fins on the 2 window ac units I just bought.But the tool is poorly put together, and spinning the head causes damage to the plastic teeth of the tool.It's also difficult to get the teeth of the tool into the fins of the ac unit. You have to start from where the fins are perfectly straight, and then slide down through the damaged area, sometimes multiple tries are required.It's less tedious than using a knife to unbend fins, but it is more frustrating/finicky, and poor workmanship can make the fins worse.Overall, 4 stars, would probably buy it again for straightening multiple unit's fins. I would not buy this for doing 1 unit.
The plastic dies after about 2 minutes. Really good idea but it does not work long. I love it is made in USA but it pooped out to soon. Sorry Malco!
It's plastic, quality control is poor, good luck getting this on a coil when the tips are melted together
I can't believe this tool was sent out like this. The plastic casting is soooo poor that I can't even get it to slide onto the fins.In the photos attached the tool is new and completely unused. Just really poor quality control.
I received 1 of these, didn't like it and they sent me another one and expect me to pay for it
Used it very carefully with some lubricants. it made the damaged A/C fins looks good.The A/C fin counted as 22 but actually only 20 is good.
Tool works as it should. You will not get many uses out if it as it is a softer plastic. It us good for what I needed it for.
Used it on the coils of our RV a/c unit. We used the #20 spacing. Worked great but takes practice to get it in between the coils without bending the coils.
it is important that you know your fins per inch, once you have that by testing in a small spot, go slow and it will work pretty good.
