ProBender 302 One Shot
Highlights
- Higher-capacity ProBender platform marketed for heavy chassis and industrial work
- One-shot style bending with serious tonnage potential – details to be documented
- Critical comparison point against other high-capacity hydraulic benders like BRUTE / Mittler
✔Pros
No pros listed. We explicitly only display pros when they are obvious from direct comparison within the range of models on this site and come from a clear, documented source (manufacturer documentation unless expressly stated otherwise inline with the pro).
!Cons
- •No published materials compatibility list (materials coverage cannot be scored).
- •No documented mandrel capability for this frame (or not documented clearly enough to score).
- •Fixed-base configuration (no portability claim documented).

Value for Money
Autoscaled mechanics-only value using rawValue=(capabilityPoints/entryPrice). capabilityPoints=19, entryPrice=2500, rawValue=7.600e-3. Dataset band: P10=3.363e-7, P90=2.460e-6. Values are clamped into [P10,P90] and mapped to 1..20.
20/20
Ease of Use & Setup
Portability: 0/3. Evidence checklist: 2/7. Manual=No, On-machine instructions=No, Angle reference=No, Angle stop=Yes, Rotation aid=none, Quick die change=No, Mfr YouTube model content=Yes.
2/10
Max Diameter & CLR Capability
Fixed OD tiers. OD=2 in. CLR is display-only (not scored).
7/10
Bend Angle Capability
Fixed angle tiers. Angle=90 deg.
2/9
Stress Capacity & Materials
0.134" published max wall for 1.75" OD DOM. No published material compatibility list; materials sub-score is 0.
2/10
Die Selection & Shapes
No published/entered die-family coverage for this frame; this category scores 0 rather than guessing.
0/8
Track Record (Years in Business)
Scored from stated years in business: 1989.
3/3
Upgrade Path & Modularity
Documented upgrade path covering: rotation indexing for bend-to-bend alignment, built-in or machine-mounted angle readout.
2/8
Mandrel Compatibility
Mandrel tier is explicitly none (or not documented clearly enough to score). This category scores 0.
0/4
True S-Bend Capability
No published/entered S-bend capability data for this frame; this category scores 0 rather than guessing.
0/3
USA Manufacturing (Disclosure-Based)
Disclosure-based tier 5/5 based solely on the manufacturer's own claims about where frames, dies, hydraulics, and assembly occur. We do not audit factories or offer legal opinions on FTC compliance; this scores the stated claim only.
5/5
Origin Transparency
No meaningful origin disclosure in published/entered data (or only vague/marketing language); this category scores 0 rather than guessing.
0/5
Single-Source System
Complete, fully functional system (frame + dies + hydraulics/lever) available from one primary manufacturer/storefront.
2/2
Warranty (Published Terms Only)
Clear written warranty with roughly 1–2 years of coverage on the machine or major components. This category is based strictly on published terms; we do not score how well the warranty is honored in practice.
