    Is it possible to use this to bend with a larger radius that that of the die? Perhaps by making a series of small bends small distances apart?

    specs say can bend 2" wide mild steel 1/4" thick When I looked a year ago it is was only 3/16". What happen?

    That was great for flat stock. Are there plates for bending round stock? The other thing that would be useful, is instead of telling me how many inches have gone by, tell me how many degrees it's been bent to.

    I just ordered this on your site. I have ⅜" steel that is 2" wide. I think it won't work now that I see it says it for ⅜" can only be ¾" wide. Is this correct or will it bend the ⅜" x 2" wide steel?

    didn't realize I needed this tool Ha Ha Ha
    I'd think keep all the moving parts greased up - grease is cheap
    and some 'at the ready' handle extenders
    great tool, I'm going to look at some more videos of it

    I wish you guys made a larger version. 6 or 8 inches wide.

    bend 10mm steel by hand .! that is impressive!

    Have you made curved bends? For example, a 2" radius bend using 1/4" X 1" aluminum bar stock. I'm sure it would take some trial and error to get an exact 2" radius to know the increments in the bending process. Just wondering if you have tried that kind of bend and what you used for increments between bends to get the desired radius.

      The harbor freight hand bender comes with a bunch of dies . It only can fit 2” wide material but it does an amazing job and is done with human strength, it’s surprisingly easy to bend this way…made in china and made pretty well too…I recommend it…..1/4x2 is about all you can handle buts it’s doable!

    I broke mine trying to make 90 degree bends in 3/8" thick 3" wide flat bar. The arms stretched from bending and now it is unusable. The rating of 3/8" 4-inch wide flat bar is too much for this bender. Good for thinner metals.

      Just regular cold roll steel.

      I can see how their description is confusing but if you look. 3/8" thickness is bendable at 3/4" wide.
      It says it in the description and in the guide.
      At 4" wide it can only bend 3/16". At 2" wide it can only bend 1/4".

      When I contacted Eastwood, they claimed I should have had no problem bending the metal. Eastwood said to keep the metal in the middle. That does not matter as both top and bottom of the bender stretched the same amount. They sent me another one and I only use thinner metal when bending.

    What is the smallest angle possible for a 1/4 aluminum piece?

      Yes, you should be able to make that bend. Here's a link with complete specs regarding thickness and size of metal it will bend: www.eastwood.com/4-inch-metal-bender.html

      He said 3/8ths in the video. I'd imagine that's mild steel.

      He meant to say 2.5 tons of force, not 250. Good catch.
