Branch bender tool — durable carbon steel construction for controlled, damage‑minimizing shaping of bonsai branches and trunks. Key benefits Durable material: forged from ‑quality carbon steel for strong, wear‑resistant performance that resists fracture under repeated use. Protected bark: soft anti‑slip protective covering at contact points prevents rubbing and reduces bark damage while bending. Precise control: spherical knob and threaded screw let you apply force gradually and accurately for smooth, step‑by‑step bending without sudden stress on the branch. Adjustable fit: movable beam with multiple hook positions accommodates different branch spacings and irregular radii so you can reach the shape you want. Main features Spherical turning knob for comfortable, efficient operation and better hand control. Hooked ends to engage side branches and a plunger (clamp) to hold the main branch securely while bending. Threaded middle screw lets you tighten or release slowly to achieve gradual bending. Sliding/adjustable beam positions allow different distances between hooks and flexible angle control. Protective sleeve on contact surfaces to reduce abrasion and protect bark. How it solves common problems Prevents overbending: the screw and knob provide slow, incremental adjustment so branches are reshaped without sudden bends that can crack wood. Minimizes bark damage: anti‑slip protective covering and secure clamping reduce rubbing and crushing of the bark. Works on awkward angles: adjustable hook spacing and movable beam let you shape irregular radii and hard‑to‑reach positions. Compatibility and performance Designed for bonsai branches and trunks; suitable for training, shaping, and directional adjustment. Handheld, mechanical operation—no power required. Robust carbon steel construction for repeated use on small to medium bonsai branches. Practical use scenarios Training a bonsai branch into a desired curve: clamp the main branch with the plunger, hook the side anchor, and turn the knob slowly to form the curve without cracking the bark. Redirecting growth direction: use the adjustable hooks and beam positions to apply steady pressure and shift a branch's growth angle over several sessions. Repairing or reshaping after storm or pruning: secure the branch, protect the bark with the sleeve, and bend gradually to restore or improve form. What to expect Controlled, repeatable bends with minimal bark abrasion. Adjustable setup for different branch distances and shapes. Sturdy, long‑lasting tool for regular bonsai training and branch shaping.
