Description
Easily Form Steel, Stainless, Aluminum Rod and Flat Stock:
Put the right curves into your steel and aluminum rods using this small metal tubing bender. The tool mounts in your bench vise to create repeatable bends of 180 degrees or more in round, flat and square tubes. A rod forming tool is often used to create exhaust system hangers and brackets. It’s also great for hood prop rods, pegboard hooks, wire storage racks and ornamental metal art. The industrial design and construction produce strong leverage to complete the best in seconds. Use it on round stock with a diameter up to 3/8-inch or on ½-inch wide flat stock up to 3/16-inch thick.
Five forming dies with diameters between a ½-inch and 1.5 inches are included with our metal rod bending tool. This produces a lot of options for gradual curves, sharp hooks and everything in-between. See the tool in action by visiting the Eastwood Garage. We offer many ways to form metal that have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Does what you want it to do
Perfect tool for bending metal rods and 1/2” flat stock. Made some nice hooks with this. Seems solid and well made.

Metal rod forming and bending tool
The Eastwood rod bending tool worked very well. I used it on both 3/8" and 1/4" stainless steel rods with no problem.

Why'd I Wait So Long??
I can't believe I didn't buy one of these sooner. I build custom furniture and one of the pieces I've designed incorporates a 5/16" brass rod that I make two 90-degree bends on. I make these fairly frequently and up until now I've been using a custom jig that I welded up myself using some scrap tubing and angle steel and then i clamp it in my vise. It works fine but leaves slight indents on my brass that i need to sand out. So far I've used this Eastwood bender a couple times and it is a thousand times faster and easier than my diy bending setup. Again, I wish I would've bought this bender sooner. Really helpful for my needs. So far so happy👌🏻

Landing Gear Bender
I bought this for bending landing gear for rc airplanes using 5/32 music wire. Worked great for main gear, not the best for nose gear wires. Worth money to bend what you want when you want it since these accessories for the hobby are less available commercially.

That exceeds the maximum recommended rod diameter of 3/8" so I cannot confirm it will work.
