KAKA INDUSTRIAL Flat Bar Bender,Zinc-Plated Mold for Anti-Rust & Smooth Finish, Bends Flat Steel (1.18"x0.394"), Round Steel (0.59"), Square Steel (0.511"), Scroll, Radius, Angle SBG-40

Seems like it is nicely made. Have mounted it on a stand and is ready to use.

Tool works well. I was able to scroll bend 1-1/4"x3/16" flat bar, which was much wider than the spec capacity. I wish there was more dies available. User manual is worthless. Luckily, there was several online videos on assembly and use.

This item will not form the size material they claim max round is 5/8 it is actually 5/16. Forming dies are not heat treated correctly type will start to deform in just a few uses. Not worth the money I should have bought a very similar tool that will do the same as what this wan will cheaper.

I use this for making u-shaped handles out of 1/2 round. like everyone, i have a shop made hossfeld type bender and it's good for really thick material but not nearly as accurate as this one. this bender can make very tight radius bends to less than 1/16 inch of where you need it without much setup at all, and if you take your time with marking and measuring a test bend and transfer those marks to your work, bends are right on the money each time.

Placed the order and the package arrived within three days. The directions could be a lot better, as direction are non existent. This is the only reason for 4 stars and not five stars.

Works as expected out of the box. Highly configurable. I always customize tools according to need. This too provides a rugged base upon which you can add custom fixtures and jigs. For example, a custom center roller die. As with any tool, operating it at it's upper limit/range will cause it to wear more quickly. If you have a production line job that pushes the limits of the tool, get a bigger tool. For my purposes, this is the perfect size and I expect it to last many years.

Good product transitioning set up time between different functions Annoying!

The jaws are hardened no doubt, but once you remove the angle form on the rotating carrier for radius bends (required), the face of the carrier with the wheel gets chewed up fast by the work piece. The bends had nice radii, but all finished workpieces had a twist. For the amount of money this contraption costs, it would be nice if the sliding jaw carrier, the one that harbors the wheel, was hardened as well. As it stands, you are better off buying the other ‘blue’ look alike bender for less than half the cost. They are identical !
