by Tapco

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The same great features as the Pro III, but you gain an extra wide 19-inches throat depth. 35 percent more throat depth than any other portable bender in the industry. The deeper throat opening allows for larger, more complex shapes making it faster and easier. Use of material storage inside the bender reduces handling, flipping and speeds up bending. The patented Moving Pivot Hinge increases lifting power and eliminates marring of material. The Pro 19 features make it the best in the industry with its strong computer redesigned die casting, positive clamping system, wide mouth opening, and its time saving accessories. Shown with optional accessories Pro-Stand, Sidewinder, Wizard, and Pro Cut-Off. Size: 10 feet by 6 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tapco 10'6" Bender, February 22, 2002

This is a great affordable tool for those who need a portable bender. It's not just a siding bender. I've used it to make copper drain pans as well. You can't go over 16 guage, but the results are consistant and two people can bend a full 3X10 sheet of copper into just about any configuation. The 19" throat is not high enough to work like a pan brake, but you can compensate by figureing out the bends from the center out. Easy to keep in adjustment and two people can move it with ease. The Pro Cutoff is a keen accessory that will give your cuts nice edge.

I would reccomend the pro 2000 to anyone. It has proven to me to be the best bender I have seen as a siding contractor. I woul;d also to reccomend in the sidewinder and the pro cut off as a must as these are great timesaving pieces of equipment.

Bender works great for light duty bending. I would suggest the next model up for bending 28ga. painted flashing. Machine came damaged from shipping, but tapco sent parts to repair. Good customer service, a little slow but they are very good to resolve the problem. Also suggest the pro cut off, sidewinder and snapstand. Thanks Tapco.
