To bend the wire and rods of small diameter at home, most often use a vice, a hammer and pliers. However, using all of these tools together is time consuming. Therefore, if you often have to bend the wire, make yourself a simple device that will speed up this process.
It is ideal to have a special bending machine, but if high precision is not required, then you can do with a hand-made homemade tool. To make it, you will need two pieces of a square profile pipe (15x15 mm or 20x20 mm) and a minimum of time. Well then, let's get to work right away.
The process of manufacturing a manual bending bar
The design of this device consists of a handle (lever) and a working part. One edge of a long section of a profile pipe is cut with a grinder at an angle of 45 degrees. From the "shorty" we cut out the U-shaped part. After that, it is necessary to weld both elements together at an angle. We beat off the slag, we clean the surface with a brush and process it with a grinding disc.
Now the homemade tool for bending steel wire and rods is completely ready for use. To give the product more aesthetics, the surface can be painted. Working with such a bar bender is very simple. We insert the wire into the working part of the tool (U-shaped "tip") and, using the handle as a lever, we bend as we need.
The assembly process of such a device, see the video on the site. Do not forget to share your thoughts in the comments about this homemade product. Will such a manual bar bender come in handy on the farm?
