Full details
The Klein Tools Cable Bender is designed for electricians and professionals working with large gauge cables up to 350 MCM. Its primary benefit is providing a comfortable and firm grip for controlled bending, though its 12-inch length may require two users for more complex or strenuous bends. Key features include a contoured handle for ergonomics and a 7/8-inch tool opening suitable for substantial cables.

FAQs
What is the maximum cable size this bender can handle?
The Klein Tools Cable Bender is designed to handle cables up to 350 MCM.
What is the tool opening size?
The tool opening is 7/8-inch.
Does this bender require any assembly?
No, the bender comes fully assembled and is ready for use out of the box.
Can this tool be used on conduit?
No, this bender is specifically designed for electrical cables and should not be used on conduit or other materials.
How should I clean and maintain the bender?
Wipe the bender clean with a dry cloth after use. Store in a dry place. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Inspect periodically for wear.
Is it possible to make very sharp bends with this tool?
While it allows for controlled bends, achieving extremely sharp or tight radius bends on large cables may require two benders or additional assistance for optimal results without damaging the cable.
Where is this product manufactured?
This product is made in the USA.
Troubleshooting
Cable slips during bending.
Ensure the cable is properly seated within the 7/8-inch opening and that the grip is firm. For very slippery cable jackets, consider additional manual stabilization.
Difficulty achieving a clean bend.
For larger cables or tighter bends, it is recommended to use two benders simultaneously or enlist the help of a second person for added leverage and control. Ensure the bending radius is appropriate for the cable's specifications.
Tool appears to be bending unevenly.
Verify that the cable is centered within the bender's jaws and that consistent pressure is applied. Check for any debris obstructing the bending mechanism.
