The universal bender uses forming dies and leverage to bend tube or solid metal to a desired angle and radius. By adding together different bends, it is possible to create intricate designs using the bender. Many bends can be done manually, and there is a hydraulic assist for square and round tubing one inch and above. It is equipped with a gauge that allows you to accurately and repeatedly bend a part to the desired angle.
