This variant of our XL Twister has the same basic specification of our MC009 XL Twisting Tool when it comes to twisting steel bar. However, it is also supplied with an incredibly clever piece of kit that allows bulbous decorative baskets to be made from a cluster of four square or round bar welded at each end. These look great in stylish gate, fence and other wrought iron projects.
Our video clip shows how this clever attachment is used to twist and then counter twist and compress the welded bar cluster into a beautiful looking basket in one of two sizes. When added to the basic twisting capability it makes this an incredibly versatile ornamental iron machine.
