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.

The sturdy FretBender is 7" (177.80mm) tall and can be bolted to your workbench. The groove in its smooth-turning guide roller accepts large or small fretwire tang sizes. The wire advances on two precision needle-bearing rollers, with cam adjustment for any required fretboard radius. The FretBender is a super-tool that makes fretting faster, more precise, and more efficient.
Stainless fretwire and fretting tools
While stainless steel fretwire is definitely harder than the traditional nickel-silver, stainless wire does not cause premature wear of our files, cutters, and abrasives. All of our fretting tools are suitable for use on stainless steel wire except for the Fret Tang Nippers.
