You saw the bender that Rick C made. Pretty clever invention !

Thought I'd make one like it till I checked the prices for torque multipliers OUCH!

I bought this from HF a while back thinking I'd need it for a job I was doing.

Just to see what 10tons would do I clamped this mess together -





The 3/8" base plate was flexing pretty good but the tube bent with ease.

I guess I've proven the theory now to refine the application.

Nothing like leverage for bending steel cold. Great job...Bob
