You all have seen Ron's bender?
If you haven't...lets just say that it is the 'pimp' version of a bender.
The F*ing thing is fully automated and programmable!
He is more spoiled than I am!
Yeah, I'm not kidding!!

What size can you bend with that thing? I can't use the link, I'm on a government computer right now.

When it comes to pulling that 180 I have a very large son for that purpose,he is known as "Tugboat"(Juryrigjolpy).........SANTA
 
i have used that bender,
ive used it for 1 3/4 .120 4130. it works really well, it took some effort , but i think two elves should handle it. but even two elves cant carry it...
 
id like to run that hippie over in a semi for christmas.....

show her to not support the armed forces.

How about Cheryl Crow?
 
looks exactly like the JD Squared Model 3 that Ive spent many hours cranking on... very very good design... just remember to flip the following die over for wall thicknesses less than .095 (i learned this after many a kinky tube)


as for the 2" .188 wall... Ill bend a 180* for a case of beer... just need to get me a long pipe... :gee:

cant be *too* much harder than bending 1-3/8" .188 wall 4130
:D

I came equipped with an extension pole long enough that can bend 2" .188 wall in my sleep.
