Thats a heck of a deal on the bender and die package in the top link. Anyone have any real world experience?
We have built two of the gotrikes benders, and they work like a champ. We added air over hydraulic cylinders and it makes life much easier.
I have also used the harbor freight version with great success for a couple years. If you use the 1 1/4" "pipe" die, it fits perfectly on 1 5/8" "tubing". I have made bumpers, sliders, and all kinds of crap with it, and it has never kinked a tube.
I dont have any reason to replace the Gotrikes benders, but the one in the top link is a heck of a deal for someone wanting to get into a good bender. Granted, the design is a straight up copy of other name brand models....but??
