How should you choose a roll cage bender?

Looking beyond our greatest hits, the best roll cage tubing bender really comes down to the best choice for you and what you want to make. That’s why we offer such a wide selection of tube benders—so that we have a model that’s perfect for just about anybody.

Consider these 3 main factors to get more specific about choosing your roll cage tube bender.

1. Tube size: Pick a tubing bender with enough capacity to handle the OD you’re using. (But you probably knew that already!) A word of advice: go with a bender that can tackle a slightly larger OD than what you need so you don’t strain the machine.

2. Level of use and production: If you do a lot of one-off designs (or you don’t mind a workout), you could save money with an affordable manual bender. But if you need to make multiple repeats—or you just want to make your life easier—a hydraulic or programmable bender will save time and effort.

3. Style of roll cage:

• If you’re building compact roll cages for race or drag cars, one of our fast and accurate RDB model tube benders can handle the job.
• If you’re making dome-shaped cages for off-road vehicles, we recommend a roll bender. Any of our manual ring rollers like the R-M10 or bigger can get the job done.
