    Jeezus, not the HF pipe bender! I like to think I'm a fairly decent fab man, but that bender kicked my ass! I could not get a decent bend to save my life. I gave up using it.

    Any bending I need done gets done at the local muffler shop. Its never cost me more than $20 and a 12 pack...and the bends look awesome!



    The HF bender?

    It now lives at the scrap yard.

    Tube. Not a pipe. Totally different.

    That said, you can make a very nice tube bumper without the need of a bender and just a grinder.

    I bought a craftsman, it didn't work right at first. I took it apart and put it back together and it works great now.

    Made some progress on my little display that I am going to install in the blank slot in my dash between the driver side center air vent and the hazard light switch. I am designing/building/programming it myself, it'll show data like instant MPG, average MPG, fuel consumption, engine load, etc. True, there is stuff out of there already, but this is also a fun project for me.

    I would love to build a tube one but don't have a bender and didn't think it make that huge of a difference between the two but I guess so.. So I guess I'll go look up videos how to do that also...if you have any videos or pictures without a bender of one that looks good let me know k tyvm

    I actually have Torque as well, awesome application. However, I don't like tying up my phone with it constantly. So I am making this thing.

    I'm also cheap, this thing is gonna cost me less than $15-20 in parts. I cut out the middle man and order my stuff directly from China. Takes a month to get here, but I don't have much free time, so I can wait.
