• Lock/unlock mechanism with simple half-turn rotation of the bending handle for quick operation
• Roll dies in the bending carriage reduce tube flattening and the amount of force needed
• Extra-long 16-inch handles with cushioned ergonomic grips provide increased leverage and comfortable handling
• Vise clamp built into bending form delivers extra stability during operation
• Gain marks on front ensure properly aligned bending angles for maximum accuracy
• Can be used handheld or mounted in a vise for enhanced stability with thick-walled materials

This heavy-duty instrument bender is ideal for HVAC technicians, plumbers, and professionals working with hard tubing materials. The combination of roll dies, extended handles, and integrated vise clamp makes bending stainless steel and other hard metals significantly easier while maintaining bend quality and accuracy.
