Simple bender - 6mm - 1/4" capacity
#1
I was painting today and ran out of hooks to hang things from, so I made a few. I decided I'd post some pics of the bender that I made, as it does get a lot of use and is very simply to throw together. It isn't my design and I cannot recall where I saw it originally.

It is very simple to make with a block that is held in a vise containing two 10mm rods and a handle, containing another 10mm rod. The handle has a 10mm hole, allowing it to pivot around one of the rods on the base. The other holes allow it to be hung on a peg board. It will bend rod or flat bar up to 6mm and is very useful for hooks, brackets and linkages etc. The 10mm rods are actually the non-threaded sections of old bolts and are simply welded into place.

Whilst the measurements are not critical, I have drawn up plans for what I made on the fly but I'm having issues converting them to pdf. So, I'll post the dwg file and hope it all works. I'm not much of a drawer, so feel free to point out mistakes and suggest changes etc.

Now for some pics (I know how much you like pics!):
