Its small footprint fits neatly on a workbench, yet its versatility makes it a capable companion for hobby projects and professional setups alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you can form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms wire, flat metal and tubing into a variety of shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports rapid prototyping of brackets, hooks, and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for multiple materials beyond copper, with the caveat not bending copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey bending capabilities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp bends up to 5\/16 inch diameter rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 1 x 1\/8 inch flat metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong angle mode and short angle mode for diverse geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting and operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsers 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What materials can this mini bending bender work with?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It forms wire, flat metal, and tubing into clamps, handles, brackets, hooks, coils, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How do I mount it and what are its material limits?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Mount on a bench or vise; not for copper tube; bends up to 5\/16 inch rod and 1 x 1\/8 inch flat metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"WINMAX TOOLS AUTOMOTIVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47516187623598,"sku":"B08MJQZX4Q","price":123.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/6012\/9710\/files\/winmax-tools-automotive-mini-bending-forms-wire.jpg?v=1771274659","url":"https:\/\/handyskook.ca\/products\/winmax-tools-automotive-mini-universal-bending-bender-for-wire-flat-metal-tubing","provider":"HandySkook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
