APPARATUS FOR BENDING REBAR

摘要

An apparatus for bending elongated members having different horizontal cross-sectional radiuses (e.g., different sizes of rebar) includes an extension portion, a first vise, and a second vise. The extension portion has a proximal region, a distal region, and a first aperture through the proximal region. The first vise has an aperture through the first vise. The second vise has a recessed region. The first aperture is sized to allow the extension portion to mount onto a vehicle hitch. The first vise and the second vise are located distally from the distal region of the extension portion. The aperture of the first vise is sized to accommodate an first elongated member having a horizontal cross-sectional radius (e.g., a first size of rebar). The recessed region of the second vise is sized to accommodate an second elongated member having a horizontal cross-sectional radius (e.g., a second size of rebar different from the first size of rebar). Accordingly, the horizontal cross-sectional radius of the first elongated member is different than the horizontal cross-sectional radius of the second elongated member.
