The EASTWOOD ROD FORMING TOOL is a high quality, industrial style tool capable of generating a powerful leveraged force to create 180° or greater repeatable bends in mild steel and aluminum rods up to 3/8” diameter and flat stock up to 1/2” wide and 3/16” thick.
• Be sure there is sufficient working room around the tool to allow for safe handling of various lengths of rod or tubing. • The Eastwood Rod Forming Tool is equipped with a specifically designed Handle length for sufficient bending force. DO NOT add pipe, bars or any other devices which would add additional length to the Handle to increase bending force.

The Eastwood Rod Forming Tool can present a hand/finger pinch hazard and cause potentially serious injuries if dropped on feet. Avoid pinching hands while operating and wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal.
