I was wondering if any one has ever used one of these www.affordablebender.com The price is right but I do not want to spend money on this and then have to buy a JD2 in three months. The only problem I see is it does not bend past a 90. Thanks for any input

The price is right.. It sure would be handy to be able to bend tubes in the garage. I am not sure about an entire frame but for a few random pieces, it would be great.

that is the same tube bender that i copied, I used an enterpack cylinder with a air overhydrolic pump. I have built alot of cages from race car to full jeep roll cages and buggy frames. I have no problem with the machine not bending over 90 degrees. you will be able to use that for anything you need.

Look at this site also, I think I had around $400 in it by the time I added air over hydrolic ram. Works great!
