With multiple patents , the new StayBent Short Track Speed Skate Bender is the biggest improvement in blade bending in more than a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe StayBent Short Track Blade Bender is made in the Netherlands from a solid block of aluminum and features bronze bearings, heat-treated steel anvils, and an adjustable ergonomic handle. The unique frame design allows the technician to use finger grip strength while applying pressure to the blade to enable a much more accurate feel during the bending process. Because of the one-piece frame design, there is a substantial increase in torsional rigidity, and no possibility of frame structure degrading with use the way benders made with multipart frames do. The anvils are shaped to ensure that there is no possibility of damage to the blade tubes. Further, the anvil mounting system allows for tool-less installation of different shaped anvils to support new blade tube profiles, making this bender future-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnlike other benders on the market, this one won't damage your blades, and won't fall apart after a year of heavy use.

The fit and finish of this bender are unmatched in the industry. And unlike tube benders, this bender is designed to bend the flat section of the tube, which allows for a more precise bend to be applied to the blade in the area that reduces the possibility of kinking the tube. It also allows the section of the blade under the pivot point to be bent.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis bender features heat-treated bending blocks that are fully adjustable. The blocks lock into a machined channel with graduation marks to help improve the repeatability of your bending setup, while ensuring that they don't get lost when traveling from competition to competition. This bender is designed and made in the USA. The main body is machined from the highest quality USA 7000 series aluminum to ensure long-term durability.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUSA 7000 series aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeat-treated, fully-adjustable bending blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StayBent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40363597103257,"sku":"","price":555.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1799\/8233\/files\/Long-Track-Bender-1.jpg?v=1701207543"},{"product_id":"staybent-radius-and-bend-gauge","title":"StayBent Radius and Bend Gauge","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe new Patented StayBent speed skate blade radius and bend gauge is the best and easiest tool for checking the radius and bend of the long track and short track speed skate blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe StayBent gauge was developed over two years with extensive testing and feedback from some of the best coaches in the sport. With the goal of making a new blade measurement tool that is easy for new and experienced blade technicians, StayBent looked at the problems the existing tools had and then went back to the drawing board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe StayBent gauge incorporates the lowest profile frame and a dial indicator on the market to help make it easier for technicians to reliably measure the blade's runner surfaces without being unstable and \"tippy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo further enhance stability, StayBent incorporated magnets into the gauge frame. Unlike other gauges, the StayBent design allows technicians to reposition the magnets to decrease their strength, and to use stronger or weaker magnets if desired. The magnets are precisely positioned in a way that avoids the problem of causing the blade to deflect when measuring bend, thereby ensuring that reliable and repeatable measurements can be taken. Further, the magnets can be removed if the technician prefers a non-magnetic design as well as for cleaning and maintenance of the gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn another innovative move, StayBent incorporated thermally insulating handles to avoid having the technician's hand temperature increase the gauge frame temperature during extended use. Because different materials expand at different rates, having a stable temperature during the measuring process helps improve the consistency of the measurements taken by highly precise tools like a skate radius gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe shape of the StayBent gauge's frame is such that it can be used with the skates in most sharpening jigs without worrying about contacting the jig's clamps. This is critical for technicians who need to hand rock blades as it eliminates the need to remove the skates from the jig to take measurements at the front and back of the blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStayBent only makes tools for speed skating.
