Iam about to buy a tube bender to build myself a tube fornt clip and a cage i was looking at many diffrent brands and found teh jd squared to be one of the best for the money. Please second that if its true. And also i was wondering what size tube is a good average size to be useing on a zuk. size as in dia 1 .5 or 1.75. Another conserni is the radius of the bend iam looking for. I just want a general goo allaround radius. i don't wanan be buying two or more of those dies they get a alittle expensive. If anyone has a manul tube bender for sale please give me a shout allso.:D

the pro tools 105 is a good bender also. anything bigger than 1.5 looks a little bulky, on a samurai, IMO. I have a tube clip on my new sammi, i like the design, but i will be redoing the lower bars.got one pic of it a few threads down titled "my first sammi"

I would go with the Pro Tools 105 bender over the JD. Dies for the JD bender only fit the JD.

I used 1 3/4x.120 HREW tube for the two main cab bars and everything else is 1 1/2x.120 HREW.
