harbor freight bender

Showing my harbor freight bender. This tool is very reasonably priced and can save you time and money over bending stuff with heat.

What kind of steel were you demonstrating with?



[freddytk421]

@MegaKawiBoy 1/2 inch hot rolled steel round stock

will the bender work on rebar?

[freddytk421]

@BassicPeach yeah it works on rebar.

Thanks Freddy. The bender at 1:13 - are you sure it's the same only for floor-mount? It has all those collets with it, and I am looking for something to bend 1" and under tubing in nice looking and tighter bends. Did your table-mount bender come with the same collets?

[freddytk421]

@Spearfisher1970 neither will be good at tubing. they are for solid stock. if you put tubing or pipe in this it will kink it and flatten out.

Is this how you're supposed to use the right angle attachment?

I have bent 1/2" stainless rod with one of these.

@paulbunions where's your video of you demonstrating your bender that was made in the usa?

[Spearfisher1970]

@freddytk421 Wow - thanks even more so for the fast reply. Have you seen anything at HF that would be good for 1/2" to 1" (or just under) thin-wall mild steel tubing without too much deformation (a little is OK)?
