Your opinions, especially if you own 'em.. Got decent deal offers from each, but I want something to last, and you who have 'em already are the best to ask.. so?

Thanks

i want to know the same thing
i can get the jd2 one for a little les money but i want to know if its good enough

I'm getting a JD2 because I "heard" they were a bit stronger construction.

hey here's a novel idea...why not ask this in the "shop tools" forum :idea:



:flipoff2:

I have a protools105 that has seen harsh service for about 2 years now. It sits outside in the rain bolted to the driveway on a stand. It has bent at least 3 exos, 2 internal cages, a number of sliders, a set of tube fenders, and a couple stingers. I just run a wire wheel across the die to dress it up when I go to use it. It shows its wear, but keeps on ticking. It is the manual type. One piece of advice, if you are looking at a manual one, try to find somebody that has one and give it a try. It takes some real work to move it!!! Individual bends are no big deal, but a couple of hours, or days of bending for a whole cage or exo and you might consider the hydraulic setup. I have not tried any other setups, so I cannot say this one is as good or better, but for the price I can say it has more than done the job. I would not have any problem purchasing another one of their products. I would, however, purchase the hydraulic one if I had to do it again.
