Systems, apparatuses, and methods to bend a tube at a predetermined location and angle are disclosed herein. An apparatus may have a body and a trigger pivotably attachable to the body. The body may have a female component to retain and prevent unwanted longitudinal movement of the tube towards a bottom of the body and lateral movement of the tube. The trigger may have an arcuate surface that contacts the tube to bend the tube when the trigger is squeezed.
