XL5+ Power Bender

Code MC732

The XL5+ Power Bender packs 5+ functions that makes it more than just an impressive metal bar bender. This baseline version of the tool is a metal bar cutter, a metal ring roller, a metal hole punch and it will also rivet heavy duty metal work together effortlessly. As well as being able to bend bar in a single pass, it’s unique design allows a wide range of steel profiles to be bent progressively in order to curve steel into complex shapes.

If that wasn’t enough further option packs are available that allow it to do the work of other fabrication equipment. For details on all the available option packs see our MC732X XL5+ Power Bender with Option Packs 1,2,3,4 & 5 for those wanting to purchase the ultimate ironworker.  Alternatively, you can buy this baseline machine and purchase selected Option Packs as and when you require them from our XL Tools section.
