WINMAX TOOLS AUTOMOTIVE Mini Universal Bending Bender for Wire, Flat Metal & Tubing

Meet the WINMAX TOOLS AUTOMOTIVE Manual Mounting Mini Universal Bending Bender, a compact, hand-operated device designed to shape wire, flat metal, and tubing with precision. Its small footprint fits neatly on a workbench, yet its versatility makes it a capable companion for hobby projects and professional setups alike.

What you can form

The device guides your material into clean, repeatable bends, enabling you to create clamps, handles, brackets, hooks, coils, and more. The included shaft options let you tailor the bend path to your piece, helping you move from rough prototypes to finished parts with confidence.

• Forms wire, flat metal and tubing into a variety of shapes
• Supports rapid prototyping of brackets, hooks, and mounting hardware
• Suitable for multiple materials beyond copper, with the caveat not bending copper tubing

Key bending capabilities

This mini bender can execute sharp angle bends for small-diameter rods and flat strips. It handles bends up to 5/16 inch diameter rod and works with 1 x 1/8 inch flat metal for compact assemblies. Two angle modes—long and short—help you adjust the bend progression for tight corners or longer radii.

• Sharp bends up to 5/16 inch diameter rod
• Up to 1 x 1/8 inch flat metal
• Long angle mode and short angle mode for diverse geometry

Mounting and operation

Designed for stability, the bender mounts securely on a workbench or can be clamped in a vise. The manual action provides tactile feedback as you form each bend, making it easy to refine the geometry of your piece without power tools.

Included components and shaft variants expand the range of possible shapes. With 5mm and 6mm shafts, plus a 13mm long shaft, you gain control over the bend line. The circle templates at 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm offer preset radii for consistent curves in brackets, hoops, or frames. The long and short angle modes let you adjust for space constraints during assembly.

Materials guidance

Users can work with a variety of materials, but copper tubing is not recommended for this unit. For projects that require non-ferrous or ferrous metals, the bender supports a range of gauges and thicknesses, helping you iterate faster from concept to a tangible piece.

In short, the WINMAX TOOLS AUTOMOTIVE mini bending bender is built to support hands-on fabrications, from quick kitchen-shelf repairs to more involved automotive or workshop projects. It offers tactile control, repeatable angles, and a compact footprint that can live at the workbench or travel with your toolkit.
