Eastwood Metal Bender Forming Tool | Small Metal Rod Bending for Aluminium Stainless Mild Steel Round Flat Square Stock | Multi Purpose Wire Bender Tool Jig | Pipe Bending Machine | Rod Pipe Bender

Great quality, works perfect

Great quality for my purposes. Item was shipped and received several days earlier than the estimated arrival.Most of what I'm bending is 1/4" stainless steel rod. The kit was missing the 3/4" die when I received it. I contacted the seller and they responded within an hour. They provided an incident number and were very polite. Customer service of this caliber should be ubiquitous across the board. This seller sets the standard by which everyone should follow.

Good quality and design. Poor packaging/storage container.

This tool works as expected, but definitely don't exceed the metal dimensions maximum specs. This is not made for heavy projects.

Purchased to bend some 3/8" round stainless to 180 deg on 1/2" R. I installed 1/2" R donut on mandrel and donuts on both fixed pin and bending pin to tighten air gaps, and placed additional shims to close gap farther. Not sure if that was necessary, but I did not have material to waste. I used 1-1/4 x 14" pipe extension to to make work easier. Lots of force happening here... keep fingers clear! Project was successful.

This does the job they say it will do. While I have not tried something at the maximum capacity. What I have done on it worked well. I will probably try and put some type of grip on the bar. It's a little slippery but that really hasn't been a problem.

I am forming 3/8 inch 6063 aluminum round stock.The forming dies are nice and hard, but having only a solid dowel pin without a needle roller bearing on the forming arm, to prevent galling of an aluminum bar or rod causes unnecessary cleanup of the piece. Also, the stretch of the metal being bent or formed because of the galling by the solid dowel on the forming arm causes repeatability to be an issue. I like the unit, pricey but functional.

Fantastic for the price. Just what I needed. Nice variety of bending options. Will make my projects much easier.
