RIDGID Model 456 Tri-Bender — Cat. No. 44852
The RIDGID Model 456 Tri-Bender, Cat. No. 44852, is a professional manual tube-bending tool designed for accurately bending three sizes of soft copper tubing using a single compact tool. It is ideal for plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and general copper-tube installation applications.
The Tri-Bender incorporates a 90° starting angle that minimizes the effort required to form bends. Clearly marked angle references allow the operator to make quick and consistent bends through 90°. Its multi-size design accommodates 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" soft copper tubing, making it a practical and versatile tool for field installation and maintenance work.
The RIDGID Model 456 is lightweight and portable, with a listed tool weight of approximately 1.1 lb (0.48 kg). Its compact lever-bender configuration makes it convenient for technicians who need controlled, repeatable bends without using a powered bending machine.
