ABN Mini Rod Bender Metal Bending Tool, Universal Bending Machine for Clamp, Hook, Coil - Wire, Flat Round Stock, Tubing

This is a heavy duty wire and tubing bender that is a great value for the money. Although the instructions could use a little updating, they do show all the adapters that come with this set, I will find it very useful as I bend a lot of Music Wire for the R/C Model Airplanes that I build.

Great design (though turns out it's a copy of old American tool). For the money, it's great. Well packaged. Lots of extra (useful) blocks and pins for bending. The holes for the pins are enough oversize that you might have to shim to keep the pins from leaning on a hard bend in order to keep everything straight. It's bigger than I thought, so for doing small .075 inch thick V springs around a 1/8" pin, I'll need to put together something smaller, but I'll still find uses for this to make brackets for brake or gas lines or other projects.

All pieces of tool seem very sturdy. Some adjustments and shims will be needed to perform more precise bending. Will work out great for me as I only intend to bend light material, 3/16 inch and less.

I have only used this a few times, but it was real real handy. It is small, and therefore easy to store. I clamp it in my bench vice to use. There is a very small learning curve. I used it to make some custom hardware, which made it pay for itself very quickly. I expect to use this quite a bit more after I retire.

It does what it says. You just have to figure it all out on your own. very well made.

It works for bending silverware into bracelets halves. Sometimes the unit doesn't bend without a lot of maneuvering and repetitive motion. The unit is solidly build, but doesn't work real easy every time. On the other hand, sometimes it does work easily. It's reasonably priced for what it is.

I've been making hooks from 3/16 round rod for my shop, works well.

This bender showed up with the two important threads drilled and tapped oversized, so basically stripped from start. Also, the metal is soft, not any type of forging or tool steel. Tapped a hole to fit larger set screw then welded the nut on so I didn’t have to change the threaded rod out.Junk
