Harbor and freight bender? worth it?

damn seth! you should have sued them for that shit! Ya im going to get one from JD Squared.

Look into Pro Tools also. They build pretty much the same thing, and I have found that more people carry the dies. I can get them within about a day, and I have been more impressed with ProTools service and ship time. Do some comparisons and see which would be best for you. ProTools is in FL though, so it might be more in shipping, as I don't remember where JD2 is.

the harbor freight bender isnt that bad if you know how to use the dies correctly. But if you have the money....use it on an actual tubing bender.

Ya im not gonna get that shit. Ill just stick with my plan of getting a JD model 3 bender. thanks for the help guys!thats what i have its better than midget sex

So is steel "tube" DOM? and steel "pipe" normal schedual 40?

Not all steel tube is DOM. DOM is just seamless. You can also get welded seam tubing. Pipe is Schd.40 or Schd.80.

so how does each compare strenght wise? I know DOM is the strongest but how does schd40 compare?

Its weaker and heavier than tubing. If you want a really good explanation, Google this- "Search Pirate4x4: pipe roll cage"

cool. thanks seth

what about there standup bender similar to the JD2 bender....its 139 with dies....only thing i noticed was it says solid tube and pipe.
