Eastwood Metal Rod Forming and Bending Tool

Product Overview:

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.

  • Easily mounts in most vises

Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice bender I bought this bender to make the old style keene gold crevicing tool for my family, ended up making 8 tools out of 1/4 round before I made any bends I did my layout on 1/8 aluminum TIG rod and made 3 just to get the feel of the bender, now I have to find something else to bend (:

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Keep it simple and do it well! Simple tool that does a great job. I had no problem bending 1/4” 316 stainless rod.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The quality is there. I haven't used it yet. But, as I spent 46 years as an iroworker, now retired, I have know doubt that it will do the job. The quality is there. I will be bending up to 1/4" brass rod for whirligig drive/crank shafts. I don't see a problem using it for what I need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small and mighty I love it!!! So simple, so small and bends rods with ease. So grateful to have found this and to have not gotten the giant rod bender that you have to bolt to the floor.
