    My work bench I drilled holes in the bottom and welded a nut to the top of the hole and ran a long bolt through it with a foot welded to the bottoms when I need to move or level the table I just adjust the feet up or down. What I’ll probably end up doing with this. Good to hear about bending. I need to bend a bunch of 1/4 in with mine on the finger brake. It really needs the air over hydraulic bottle jack though. This thing is slow....

    Operating the press by hand for repeated bending gives you the gains!

    44” US General is at $450 now. Is this the lowest price seen?

    I got it for 15% off the $490 price. So about $415. Who knows when that may happen again though. If you want it it's worth the $450.

    I got mine during one of their parking lot sales about 6 months ago for $399, might be worth waiting for one of those to see if it will get back down there but that would be a gamble.

    I wanted the blue box, the cheapest I found with a coupon was $430 months ago. The cheapest I was able to get it was 15% off the $490.

    That's a great deal at $400 even. Always nice to save more.

    Went and spent some money on a dedicated "get home" tool bag. Not the greatest, but it'll do in a pinch. I forget anything other than a multimeter?

    I am not sure what size it is on this truck, but I always try to keep a socket for the belt tensioner in case of an alternator taking a poop...and a breaker bar with step downs.

    It does have a 19 i made sure of that for that exact reason.

    Those stay in the truck anyways

    Who said the wasn't? :spy: does no good in a tool bag though...

    A little extra may or may not ride along on "way in the desert trips"

    Dang it, knew i was forgetting something. Couldnt find it at harbor freight though.

    I do have a spare electrical/hardware case that comes with. Spare fuses, relay, connectors, etc

    Breaker bar is in my spare tire bag...and a Milwaukee torque gun rides along on trips. Zip ties are in the photo. JB weld does need to be readded.

    how cheap are they selling for?
