Ridgid 38033 Bender, Model 604, 1/4"

I'm always use the other guys that are way more expensive but I decided to buy my own set of benders instead of using my employers. I'm always used the other brand that's like five times as expensive these are really good the only thing I don't like is the stationary handle is at an angle so I guess there's more room for your hands when you get to 90°. I don't like that I wish it was straight so you can use it to level up the tube with it being at an angle it makes it more difficult to eyeball. I've been bending tubes for many many years so if I say it's a good Bender, it is.

Great benders. Almost same design and just as good of quality as the swage benders for a quarter of the price.

We bought this bender for very heavy wall stainless tubing work and it handled the job with ease.

Great tool for bending 1/4 tubing. Has an ear to hold tool with a vise if needed. Clear markings to help with degrees of bend. Can change position of handle also.Highly recommend.

very nice bender, not quite as nice as a swagelok which cost much more. Does al the same things as a swagelok, but doesn't have as many degrees printed on the bender. If you have to make weird offsets, an adjustable protractor is required anyway.

I love these benders. I have them in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch sizes and use them for all kinds of tubing. Perfect for stainless. No distortion in the bends and the best design. Well known manufacturer that stands behind their products. Those rollers make all the difference. The offset in the handles makes life easier, and the two position movable handle is a life-saver to complete a 180° bend. Best you can buy for the dollars spent.

Easy to use

I had bought one of those cheap $30 benders from the supply house to bend 1/4" stainless steel tubing, both soft and hard kind. It lasted about 100 bends before the pot metal broke. It also gave quite the workout on the hard pipe. I looked at the big box stores and all they had was the cheap kind I had already broken and electrician's conduit bender. Anyway, I went to Amazon and found this bender. I received it in a timely manner and after I opened the box, I knew I had a winner! I got this baby to work and it blew my socks off! It had a lot more leverage than the cheapy one and the rollers on it lowered the friction drastically. It is truly amazing how easy it is to bend the stainless steel now that I have this jewel! Highly recommend!
