    I was very tempted to get Everlast. The reviews (and prices) are also very good on all of their items. I am guessing you'll be happy with it also.

    I got it. It works really well. 3/16 and 1/4 no issues with just guessing on setting. Can’t wait to use it more. Only downside I see so far is a short ground and the wand is a little janky with the button on top but it’ll take some getting used to.

    I have heard of them before .

    not having seen anything first hand.

    The fact they have a real address and phone number is a good sign to me.

    I will say so many of my customers are having long lead times just because it is taking them so long to get products from there vendors

    Go with pro tools or jd2 if you’re looking for something on the cheaper side of benders. The rouge has a clamping block you have to tighten every time you bend a piece of tubing. I’ve seen a bunch of guys online who have had problems with the clamping block slipping while bending and giving them poor bend quality.

    Welded this little tab onto my tubs that I made out of a 1/8" coupon to stop my intake from flopping around.

    Thank you sir! It should be a easy test but sometimes your greatest enemy is yourself and when your job depends on one weld... it can get overwhelming quick.

    Gonna be one of them good ole fashioned west Texas oil money welders if this pans out which has been a long time dream :pray:

    Your not the only one I have tested welders that can do the job but just lose it when taking a test.

    I know you can do it.

    Hey sorry if this has been discussed in here before, but I’m looking at upgrading from my abrasive chop saw to a cold cut carbide chop saw. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks
