    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.

    Style A

    Style B

    Fold corners in flat metal sheets to create your own bin boxes, drip pans, and other three-dimensional objects. Similar to tucking the corners of a bedsheet, these benders twist and wrap the metal into triangle-shaped folds to form corners. Finish the fold by creasing it with a regular hand-held sheet metal bender.
    Style A—Style A benders have a longer throat depth for making deeper corners. They create corners in any angle.
    Style B—Style B benders form precise 45° or 90° corners. They have a finger hole for additional gripping options.
