The Eastwood 4-Inch Metal Bender is a compact but strong steel bender that is capable of completing precise bends up to 3/8-inch thick mild steel. It's an affordable metal forming tool that fits on any workbench with easy hand-crank operation. Save space and time when bending suspension brackets or seat mounts for your project. Others use our medium-duty metal bender for patch panels or ornament artwork. To make custom parts, simply mount the compact bender on a work surface with four bolts and start bending your desired material. There's no need for a full-size hydraulic press that takes up a large amount of space in your shop when you can achieve the same results with a metal brake that's a fraction of the size. The Eastwood 4" Metal Bender is a high-quality industrial-style tool capable of generating a powerful 2.5 tons of pressing force. Use your metal bender board to create 90-degree or lesser repeatable bends in mild steel and aluminum up to 4" wide. On 1/8-inch thick steel, you can increase the bend to 125 degrees. The maximum metal thickness varies depending on how wide the steel plate is; consult the chart below before getting started. Shop at Eastwood for professional-quality metal forming tools that cost less than comparable equipment from leading brands. We provide free technical support by phone, email or the Eastwood Garage.
