There are times when you need to bend a metal part and simply using a vise and some brute force just won't do the job. This metal bender allows anyone to form a metal part with control. The product has two parts, the male die and the V-block. Both are made of high-strength malleable cast iron that is capable of bending up to 1/8" (3.2mm) mild steel. Each piece (about 3" long by 1-1/8" wide) clamps itself against a vise jaw using embedded 1/2" rare earth magnets. The main purpose of the metal bender is to make bends up to 90° for such things as angle brackets and sheet-metal parts. A versatile and inexpensive tool for any shop. Weight: 450g.
