77455 Cable Bender Tool, Connects to 1/2'' Ratchet, Wire Bender Tool-Maximum Bending Up to 500 MCM

If you work with large wire gauges, this tool is a wrist-saver. I use it for bending conductors larger than 4 AWG, which are usually a struggle to bend by hand inside a panel. You need to attach this to a standard 1/2-inch ratchet to use it. It gives you excellent leverage to make tight bends in limited space without fighting the wire. Buy Two While one tool works well, I found that it works much better if you have two sets. Using two allows you to hold the wire steady with one ratchet while bending with the other, or to make complex offset bends more easily. Verdict For any electrician dealing with feeders or large services, this is a helpful addition to the tool bag. Just make sure you have a spare 1/2-inch ratchet driver ready to go. Pros: Effective: Makes bending wire larger than 4 AWG much easier. Simple: Connects easily to standard ratchets. Compact: Fits into tight spaces better than large conduit benders. Cons: Requires Ratchet: You cannot use it on its own; you must have a driver. Better in Pairs: One is good, but having two is the most efficient way to use it.

Did not use yet, but looks well made and delivered promptly.

This is a wire bender, made for bending heavy (electrical) wire in confined spaces. The square hole in the middle accepts a 1/2 inch drive ratchet and you thread the wire between the lugs to bend it. It also works OK with small tubing, just bend it a little, move it, and bend a little more so you don't kink it. It is a slow process, but it lets you bend tubing in tight areas you otherwise couldn't access. Kind of a specialty tool, but it does it's job pretty well. Made of some sort of lightweight alloy, but so far has proven to be more than strong enough.

Looked like a gimmick at first. But I thought I would give them a try. After 30 years of bending service wire by hand, I’ll never bend larger wire by hand again. These worked like a charm. Highly suggest, if you’re an electrician, to give them a try. You’ll never bend copper or aluminum wire by hand again

Concept was good but failed to meet my expectations, it was certainly better than not having it for the price it's worth having in your tool box

Just got it delivered and need it for my ongoing diy project where I needed to bend 3/0 wire and it worked like charm. It’s very light weight, I’m guessing made from cast aluminum but works perfect. It does not damage wire casing and it came with lug covers to offer max protection to wire. Very satisfied

I’ve only used it a couple of times, but it has been very handy to have. It’s light and surprisingly easy to use and it works well.

I used this right away, to work 4/0 aluminum through LB, and to bend inside a meter base box. Use the 1/2" socket adapters that help this tool simulate Bulldog benders, until some of us can afford Bulldog.

Cumple su función perfectamente, buen acabado solo el protector de plástico que trae no dura, pero en general muy bien producto

This is excellent for larger cables in confined spaces, will help make neat bends with a good radius on!

Only used it once but can't tell the difference between it and my klien in use so far. We'll see about durability I guess.

Produkt ist gut. Aber die Lieferung genau das Gegenteil. Die Ware wurde bei einem Nachbarn abgegeben ohne mich darüber zu informieren. Info über Zustellung erfolgte erst einen Tag später in der Bestellübersicht.

Bien
