ABSTRACT:
An instrument for bending a rod, wherein the instrument includes an elongated handle and an angled tip extending therefrom. The tip includes a channel or bore therethrough for receiving the rod. The top side of the tip may include a flat surface thereon. Two such instruments are used to bend a rod by inserting one end of the rod into the channel of one instrument and the other end of the rod into the channel of the other instrument. Force is applied to the instruments to preliminarily bend the rod. The instruments are each then rotated 180 degrees, and further force is then applied to the instruments to further bend the rod. The force may be applied until the flat surface on each instrument abuts each other.
