This works well. Versatile. Inexpensive.

Make one. There are various threads here on homemade tube benders, which will work the same with rod that small.

This is 2 tools here. The hex nut is for bending wire (yellow card). I have bent links and other items with the coil winder (white box). So yes, it can be used on 1/4" stock.

bending solid rod is way easier then tube where you don't need a mandrel type dia to keep tube from spreading outwards in a tight bend like tube....i have my bender i made so i can just remove the main bolt i bend tube around, then replace it with different sizes of 1/4" thick steel stock in different diameters for the radius i need in solid rod ........bob
