Whats up guys. I am currently looking to buy a new tubing bender for the business. The one i am using now is no longer cutting it. I want something like the JD2 or pro tools. So i am looking for pros and cons on each of those, as well as some input on others that i am unaware of.
i do not have a large budget. I am looking to spend about 800 before shipping. Also it needs to bend up to 1 3/4X .188 Tube. and and DOM


thanks

Probender. He's a vendor on here, and you can order it to use JD2 or Pro tools dies, air over hydraulic, and mine's taken a beating over the last year or so.

If you are running a business and want a bender to last I can help you out with a JMR bender. JMR bender dies are heat treated and have a lifetime warranty. Sure they cost a little more than a JD but you get what you pay for. www.jmrmfg.com

Thanks

I called jd2 and pro tools for a bender, stand, degree ring, 1.25,1.5, and 1.75 dies. pro tools gave a better price. Quality bender!
