i tried making a 180* bend last night, just out of curiosity and for future ref, i got to about 140* and the tube would spring back enough, so that i could not move to the next ratchet point.
i could not complete the bend, anyone else have this prob?:confused:

thanks!
:beer:

oh that was 1.75" 120wall that i was using

WHEN YOU ARE DONE PULLING THE HANDLE YOU NEED TO SECURE THE TUBING SO IT DOESNT SPRING BACK SO YOU CAN USE THE NEXT RATCHET POINT.
OR YOU CAN JUST GET HYDRO ........ITS A LOT EASIER:D

how do you secure the tubing so it doesn't spring back?:confused:

use a friend, a blunt object, tie it.....just dont let it move.......

have a buddy pull on the swing arm(?) while you reset the handle

Ive only used mine that far once

yea stand on it a lil more too when it feels like it's stopped and the mount is twisted all up.. then all u gotta do is hold the tube in the position it's in.. get a friend and use leverage.. is there isn't enough tube sticking out then stick something long in it to get more leverage.. go back around and continue.. it works..
