Portable electric power tool for bending elongate objects

A portable electric power tool for bending elongate objects comprising:

• an electric motor having a motor output shaft, a bend mechanism having a support portion and a bias portion wherein first and second abutment portions of the support portion are separated by a space between them through which a third abutment portion provided by the bias portion can be moved in use and wherein the bend mechanism is operatively coupled to the motor output shaft via a transmission of the tool which in use causes linear relative movement between the bias portion and the support portion for causing force to be applied by the first, second and third abutment portions to an elongate object in use at different locations along the length of the elongate object for bending the elongate object, the third abutment portion having a plurality of bending surface portions each of which has a different radius of curvature and wherein the third abutment portion can be secured in different rotational positions thereby enabling a user to select the bending surface portion which engages the elongate object being bent in use.
