## Overview

The RIDGID 604 38033 Heavy-Duty Instrument Bender is a professional-grade tool designed for precise bending of 1/4-inch stainless steel, steel, and titanium tubing up to 180 degrees. Featuring a two-stage design for smooth bends without handle crossing, cushioned 16-inch handles for enhanced leverage, and a built-in vise clamp for stability, it ensures accurate, deformation-free bends. With dual measurement scales and roll dies to minimize tube flattening, this tool combines durability and ergonomic design, backed by RIDGID’s lifetime warranty—making it an essential asset for expert tradespeople seeking flawless results with less effort.

## Description

Designed for accurate and easy bending of hard metal tube, the RIDGID 38033 Heavy-Duty Instrument Bender produces high quality bends with much less effort when compared to conventional benders. The tubing bender easily bends materials such as stainless steel, steel and titanium to a maximum of 180 degrees. Made to keep bends in-plane and accurate, it features a simple two-stage design that allows for bends from 90 degrees to 180 degrees without ever crossing handles. Users can easily lock and unlock the tube bender with a half-turn rotation of the bending handle. For improved accuracy, roll dies in the bending carriage reduce tube flattening (ovality) and the amount of force needed, while gain marks on the front ensure properly aligned bending angles. For reduced force, a vise clamp built into the bending form delivers extra stability and extra-long 16-inch (40 cm) handles offer increased leverage. Handles also feature cushioned grips for improved comfort and ease when forming bends. The tubing bender displays measurements in both inches and metric sizes. This pipe bender accommodates tubes with an outside diameter of a 1/4-inch and 5/8-inch bend radius. RIDGID covers its products with a lifetime warranty against defects in material or workmanship for the life of the tool. Since 1923, RIDGID has remained the symbol of certainty to dedicated professionals of the expert trades. Every tool that bears the RIDGID brand is engineered to the same high standards of quality, strength, and endurance, as was that first heavy-duty pipe wrench more than 80 years ago.

Review: Easy to bend even a thick tube - Although bulky and heavy, it worked like a charm for the 6 mm tube 1 mm thick I had to bend.... Smooth and effortless. 10 out 10.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this tool do reverse bends?**
A: I'm not sure what you mean. The bending action is by a roller forming the tube around a fixed disk with a 1/8" radius groove, so it only makes one bend at a time but you can make it do an "S" bend as two consecutive bends.

**Q: Can i use a 3/16 line on this? i understand it’s for a 1/4 od**
A: Sorry to say no but the bends will not be without some flattening of the tubing. These are awesome benders but they need to be used with the correct diameter of tubing. It's possible you might find a tightly coiled spring with an OD of 1/4 and put your 3/16 inside to bend. Or just use the spring benders. They work the same as I mentioned but without the bender. They are OK unless you have a lot to do. Or use a multi style and wing it with that. They are also cheap to buy.

**Q: Is the .625 bend radius going off of the inside or center line?**
A: It is the center line.
Tried to take a picture of the instructions but wouldn't let me. But it shows the center radius. I hope this helps
