FretBender

If you bend 21 frets by hand, at a reasonable 45 seconds each, that's 16 minutes. The FretBender will perfectly radius those frets, in three 24" lengths, in just 16 SECONDS!

The FretBender is our variation of an idea by repairman Randy Stockwell. It eliminates tedious, inaccurate hand-bending of fretwire and gives much better results on arched fretboards. Simply insert the inverted wire, turn the crank, and the wire emerges with a constant curvature.

See details below
