This a warning for the community: ModelExpo is advertising item OC19107 (product by OctoCreativo) as:
NEW! METAL CURVING & BENDING TOOL
Sturdy plastic tool guarantees uniform uniform curvature of metal sheets, strips and rods. Bend strips [sic] rods or metal sheets. Makes working with metal fast and easy, and you'll get the correct shape time after time. (MSRP $19.99)
When it arrived today, despite the advertising, this proved to be black-painted WOOD (I was able to raise the grain with my fingernail), NOT PLASTIC. The tool appears to be nothing but a multiple diameter dowel (gross dimensions: 3.6 in./99 mm long, 1.75 in./44 mm diameter) with a 1/8 in./3.4 mm plywood end-plate.
As ModelExpo is a satisfaction-guaranteed operation, I’m going to return this $20 Spanish dowel for a refund ASAP.
