One uses a rebar bending tool (looks like a conduit bender) to get nice bends. Alternate approach is to get a piece of iron pipe of sufficient ID that the rebar will slide inside and use it as a tool

Jerry: The best way is to have your rebar supplier bend it for you. This is very common if you use a rebar supplier. If you are buying bulk at HomeDepot or others then maybe you can find a rebar hous

Greetings! I'm starting on the rebar cage for my tower base. Any tips on bending it? I'd like a couple right-angles and my 'initial tests' with a vice haven't resulted in as sharp a bends as I'd like
