FretBender

Works well, as advertised. Would be great if there was some sort of scale or indicator on it to tell you roughly what radius you are bending to. Takes a little trial and error to get that set right, but no big deal, if the wire doesn't have enough bend just run it through again.

I bought all my fret wire pre bent off eBay prior to owning this tool. This tool saves money after just a couple of uses. Very good product!

If u want to make radius for refret job

U must have this

The fret bender is a fine tool as are all of the tools from Stewmac. However, I would like to see this tool able to straighten fretwire as other manufacturers do. Either that or add a notched gauge for common radius sizes.
The fret bender is easy to use and works like a charm, made to last forever. I would also like to see an optional mounting stand for this bender.

For fast precise fret bending.... nuff said.

I've been looking at this for a while now, but you can only bend so much fretwire by hand. It works wonderfully, but man it's pricey.

So easy to use, start with a little curve then check it against the fingerboard, then tighten the cure and bend again as need. Was able to get very close to the fingerboard radius on my first ever attempt. Takes the guesswork out of bending frets.

Got this a while ago and it is easy to use and produces a constant radius double quick.

Works quick.

It seems like its only uni directional. I know it says so in the instructions but it should be safe to turn the other way....Im a lefty. Anyway, its not. I turned mine the opposite way with NO fret wire in it and it started grinding. Not sure what happened but took it apart and cleaned out some metal shavings and reassmebled. Its good to go again but I wont turn it counter clockwise again. Lefties make sure to use this righty.

As for complaints about finding the correct radius. Its imposible to mark where each radius would be due to the many different types of fretwire available. Jumbo fretwire might make a 12 inch radius with a certain setting. Use that same setting for narrow low fretwire and you'll end up with a different radius all together.

I think that it works great though. Too pricey but when you don't have time to make, you buy. So I bought one.

I think I'll get a couple more and then I can have them set to certain radius's and certain fretwire.

After all, in this game you have to save time to make money. This is a big time saver.

Cant find anything wrong with this tool, just great!!
