Tube Bender, Instrument Tube Bender - PTB Series

Parker’s Instrument Tube Benders are designed to provide high quality bending performance on stainless steel and other tubing materials such as steel, copper, and various exotics. Parker offers a choice of four imperial models, suitable for 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2" O.D. tubing, and four metric models for 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm O.D. tubing.

The tube benders feature a two stage design that allows for in-place bending from 90˚ to 180˚ without ever crossing handles, and can be locked/unlocked with a half-turn rotation of the bending handle. A patented quick-action trigger release repositions the two-stage handle midway through a bend when both handles meet.

These benders have long 16" (40 cm) handles to increase leverage, while roll dies in the bending form reduce the amount of force that is needed. The bending form also has a built-in vice clamp to provide extra stability.
