Elmer Fret Bender

This thing looks great

Ive yet yo put it through its paces but i tried it with a straight piece of jumbo wire and it performs smooth and easy to manipulate I'm very happy with my purchase great quality and price. Very cool guys

Smooth and simple

Everything works as advertised. Two bolts to install, easy to dial in. The radius gauges are a small touch that makes the whole process much smoother. Would buy again, but it seems pretty sturdy, so I don’t think I’ll have to!

Exceeded Expectations

If I had not previously bought from Elmer, I may have passed on this tool because I thought the price was pretty low. And unfortunately, when buying luthier tools, I have been caught up in that before: cheap versions of expensive tools that just miss the mark or fail to deliver entirely. That is not the case with this tool. Time will tell on how long it lasts, but it feels very solid and rolled jumbo fret wire like nobody's business. Also, I was able to get just the right amount of over-radius which my previous, more expensive, bender just couldn't do, and I was working with a 9.5" radius. There's no way my previous bender would have been useful on a vintage-spec Fender at 7.25", now I don't have that concern.
