Adjustable-Width Sheet Metal Benders for Bench Vises

Shown with Bench Vise (Sold

Separately)

Shape sheet metal using your bench vise as a sturdy base. Remove or slide the four dies along the clamping bar to form angles, channels, boxes, trays, and pans in a variety of widths. Unlike bench-top and floor-mount benders, these are not permanently mounted—pull them out when you need them and store them when you don’t.

Tube Benders

Smoothly bend hard metal tubes, such as steel and titanium, without causing crimps or kinks. Unlike other tube benders that have aluminum mandrels, these tube benders have durable steel mandrels to withstand repeated use with hard metal as well as soft. Long handles create extra leverage to bend hard metal with less force. In addition to making bends as small as 15°, these benders have a rotating handle to make bends from 90° to 180° without ever crossing handles.

Cable Benders


Two Benders Used at Once	Benders Used with T-Handle Configuration


Style A (Wrench Sold Separately)	Style B

Style C	Style D

Reach inside panels, disconnects, and raceway to bend and position heavy duty cable with greater precision and less fatigue than bending by hand. The dies on the ends of these benders are sized to handle large wire gauges; fit your cable into the dies and push or pull the handle to bend.

Smooth dies wear less on the cable's insulation than knurled dies but are also more likely to slip.

Knurled dies provide better grip and leverage on large cable than smooth dies but might scuff and wear soft insulation material.

Style A—Keep style A benders in your belt pouch for on-the-fly bends and especially tight spots. They attach to a standard _1/2" square drive ratchet wrench, which acts as the handle.

Style B—Style B benders have dies on both ends of the handle. The dies on one end of the bender are oriented differently than the dies on the other end, so if one end doesn't give you the leverage you need, you can flip the bender around and use the other end.

Style C—Especially useful for bending cable inside an enclosure, Style C benders include a bender and a T-handle adapter. Fit the adapter into the center of the bender to use it like a large T-handle key or lug wrench. In the T-handle configuration, the tool delivers more torque than a bender alone. You can also use the bender by itself—the dies on either end of the bender are oriented differently, which means you can flip the bender around if one end doesn't give you the leverage you need.

Style D—For the most versatility, and for bending the thickest cable, Style D benders include two long benders and one T-handle adapter. With a 22"-lg. bender in each hand, you'll have the most possible leverage—place the cable between the dies, and squeeze the two benders together like a bolt cutter. Another option, which is good for bending cable that's already inside an enclosure, is to attach the handle adapter to the bender to create a T- or L-shaped lug wrench. As a third option, use either one of the straight-handle benders on its own.
