Hawke Industries of Desert Hot Springs, California, is a manufacturer of metal pipe benders and tube bender equipment for more than 15 years. In June 2014, Smiley's Metal Craft, Inc. decided the quality and durability far exceeds any other product on the market, and was well worth investing in, so they bought Hawke Industries. We are a husband and wife team and still work with Collin Hopper, who remains the designer and patent holder. After using the pipe bender for more than five years, we have experienced no problems with it.
