Shop the best selection of Ridgid Bending and Forming Tools at Acme Tools.
RIDGID® benders are distinguished by their specially designed handles that optimize your strength, allowing the right amount of force to shape or bend tubing or pipes effortlessly. These versatile tools are invaluable for HVAC and plumbing tasks, accommodating various needs with designs suited for shaping steel and copper pipes or soft tubing. The efficacy of these benders, particularly the heavy-duty variants, hinges significantly on the handle design. For instance, benders meant for soft tubing typically have shorter handles, sufficient due to the lesser force required. However, when manipulating more rigid materials like titanium, copper, or steel, the conduit benders feature extra-long handles. These extended grips enhance your leverage, boosting the force exerted and guaranteeing superior bending execution. What's more, Ridgid bending and forming tools can be recognized as one of two types: flaring tools and tube bending tools.
Furthermore, tube benders' utility is also characterized by their adaptability, coming in multiple configurations for diverse applications. The potential bending angles are a crucial consideration; while some tools offer the flexibility of bending materials to any required angle, others might restrict you to specific predefined angles. RIDGID benders often alleviate this challenge by including reference markers, offering immediate visual cues on the current bending angle, which proves instrumental during adjustment. It's essential to select the right tool tailored to each job for the best results. Our extensive array encompasses various Rigid brushes, tube benders, and other specialized plumbing tools, ensuring you have the precise equipment needed for any project. Whether you're working with steel pipes or soft tubing, the tool's handle length and its capacity for achieving the necessary bend angle are critical factors in selecting the appropriate heavy-duty bender to effectively address diverse plumbing requirements.
