Achieve perfect lug bends with minimal effort — meet the BENDER by SMALL BATCH TOOLS, a high-precision tool engineered for bending acetate and buffalo horn lugs to fit 180° hinges. Whether you’re crafting a custom frame or running small-batch production, the BENDER delivers accuracy, consistency, and perfectly repeatable alignment every time.
Designed for independent eyewear makers and small workshops, it ensures smooth, stress-free bending, eliminating common issues such as cracking, distortion, or misaligned hinge placement. A must-have tool if you want clean hinge installation and superior build quality in handmade frames.
The BENDER offers adjustable angle and radius settings, allowing you to fine-tune each bend for different lug geometries. A very smooth left-to-right switching mechanism enables effortless transitions between lugs, making the workflow more intuitive and significantly faster.
