Teflon™ Contact Rods for PVC-Coated Wire Mesh

Description

These rods come stock in the AG Bender 7 and can be retrofitted into the AG Bender 6 (which came stock with Delrin™ Contact Rods). If you’re ordering a new AG Bender, there is no need to purchase these rods as they are included and pre-installed in every new Bender.

Teflon™ rods work well with PVC-coated wire mesh, which is the most common type on the market. Manufacturers like Heyco, Spiffy Solar, Omni and mysquirrelguard.com all use PVC-coated mesh. Learn more about different types of wire mesh. We strongly recommend using the proper Contact Rods for your wire mesh, as this greatly reduces the force required to pull mesh through the Bender. The rods can be swapped into your machine in about 15 minutes using these instructions.

Be sure to read our article about contact rod maintenance before purchasing these; you may be able to rotate worn rods to extend their life instead of replacing them.
