Klein Tools Rebar Hickey Bender 64309 24 Inch Handle (Dual 65 And 90 Degree Angle Number 3 4 Reinforcing Rods Manual Concrete Shaping Steel Unit)

Klein Tools 64309 Size 1a Dual-Angle Rebar Hickey with 24" Knurled Handle

The Klein Tools 64309 Size 1a dual-angle rebar hickey manually bends and shapes #3 (0.375-inch) and #4 (0.500-inch) reinforcing steel rods across residential concrete foundations, swimming pool decks, and light commercial slabs. Engineered with a drop-forged alloy steel head featuring integrated dual-angle geometry for executing both 65-degree offset angles and 90-degree square bends, this compact manual bender prevents rod slipping and throat distortion under high bending loads. Outfitted with a high-leverage 24-inch tubular steel handle finished with deep industrial knurling for non-slip grip control in wet or muddy conditions, it equips professional ironworkers, masonry contractors, and concrete flatwork crews with agile, code-compliant reinforcing rod shaping performance in tight spaces.

Best Used For:

• Residential Foundation and Footing Rebar Shaping: Forming accurate 65-degree and 90-degree corner tie-ins and clearance bends on #3 (3/8") and #4 (1/2") reinforcing rods.
• Swimming Pool Rebar Grid Fabrication: Bending tight structural contour radiuses and stepped transitions across compact shotcrete pool cage frames.
• Post-Pour Dowel and Starter Bar Realignment: Straightening or adjusting protruding vertical foundation dowels that shifted during wet concrete placement.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Dual 65° and 90° Bending Geometry: Versatile double-ended head design allows tradesmen to perform standard 90-degree square corners and 65-degree offset bends using a single tool.
• Drop-Forged Steel-Alloy Size 1a Head: Heavy-duty forged alloy construction provides superior tensile strength and stress resistance to prevent jaw cracking under heavy bending loads.
• High-Leverage 24-Inch Steel Handle: Provides optimal mechanical leverage for bending 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch rods while remaining compact enough for tight trenches and wall forms.
• Deep Industrial Handle Knurling: Precision cross-hatched textured gripping section provides a positive, non-slip hold when working with heavy leather work gloves in wet weather.
• Multi-Size Rod Compatibility: Precision-machined head throat securely grips ASTM #3 (0.375" diameter) and #4 (0.500" diameter) reinforcing rods without marring deformation.
• Compact 3.5-Pound Lightweight Chassis: Compact form factor and low overall weight ensure effortless transport, ladder climbing, and one-handed positioning across busy job sites.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When shaping 1/2-inch (#4) rebar in tight foundation corners, choose the 90-degree head slot for square edge returns or flip to the 65-degree slot for gradual sweep offsets; applying steady, continuous pressure through the 24-inch handle ensures uniform radius bends without material fatigue.
