tubing benders

i use 1.250 also.. i think 1.5 is too big looking back there, but its personal preference.

What about the pro tools bender the 105 model wich would be better the pro tools or the jd2

Judging by the other tools these companies make, I would go with Pro Tools. Plus you can get their dies in 240 degrees.

a 240* die will only bend 180* bend from pro tools. jd2 180* die, bends 180*.

i love the jd2 stuff i've bought.

Yes the JD2 dies will do a 180 on the 180 dies, but they leave a kink at the end of the bend in the tubing. I used to have a manual JD2. I hated the kink on the 180s. Because to get a true 180, you have to bend several degrees past that to accommodate for springback.

As far as tube size, I like 1.250", and 1", but I use 1.5" wherever it fits, such as driveline hoops, link bars, etc.

where can i find this JD2? or the pro tools 105 just to compare?
