Bending tool

A tool for bending rod-like articles which comprises a shaft, a sleeve rotably mounted on the shaft with at least one end of said shaft projecting from said sleeve, a center post of a three post bending combination mounted on and centered at one end of said shaft, a first, radial arm fixedly mounted on and projecting from said shaft, a first, outer post mounted on the radially outer portion of said arm in substantially parallel, substantially opposing relationship with said center post, a second, radial arm projecting from said sleeve, a second, outer post mounted on the radially outer portion of said second arm, at a point essentially equidistant from said center post as said first outer post, in substantially parallel, substantially opposing relationship with said center post, a manually grippable, first handle fixedly attached to said sleeve and projecting laterally therefrom, and a manually grippable, a second handle fixedly attached to said shaft and projecting laterally therefrom, whereby application of manually applied torque to said handles causes said first and second outer posts to orbit about said center post and to bend a rod-like article laid across said center post and across said outer posts by the application of necessarily, essentially, equal opposing forces against the rod-like article.
