3/4" tubing bender / low buck tools

[gary m]

hi, i would like to know if anyone has one of these bench top benders?? i am in the process of mounting a 68 camaro pro mod glass body and need to bend the body supports for the back body/wing area.the web site is www.lowbucktools.com any input on this bender would be helpful. THANKS gary m

3/4" tube sounds very big for a body mount.I typically use 1/4-1/2" depending on how long and where.ridgid and swagelok both sell killer hand benders.The swagelok is much better but it is also three times the price.If you don't do it all the time buy the ridgid.As for the lowbuck bender I am sure it works fine.Look's like a decent bender.

hi,thanks for the reply.i need this bender for the tubing that i need to bend for the supports under the back.the other tubing is smaller.THANKS gary m

still sounds big.there not alot of load back there .Even if you have a promod style wing.

I sure hope that chassis was powder coated cause I wouldn't want to be the guy painting it :-DThat would be me.The owner had it electrostatic painted and it came out really dry.I had a few friends come in to help me with the sanding.We sanded for 5 nights before it was ready to spray.Not real fun!http://upload2.postimage.org/120936/5_18_05001.jpg (http://upload2.postimage.org/120936/photo_hosting.html)
