Abstract: Disclosed herein is a portable electric power tool for bending elongate objects. The tool includes an electric motor having a motor output shaft, a bend mechanism having a support portion and a bias portion. The bias portion 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. The relative movement causes force to be applied by the bend mechanism to an elongate object in use at different locations along the length of the elongate object for bending the elongate object. The transmission includes a conversion mechanism for converting torque into a linear force for causing the linear relative movement between the bias portion and the support portion.
