Not much you can't do with a press. I cold formed a piece of tube to replace a rotted out section of crossmember on my truck using my 20 ton press. No heat used.
I never knew how badly I needed one until I bought it. One of the most used tools in my shop. 12" disk sander is one of their best values. Especially after 25% off coupon.
These are what I use. I have 5 or 6 pairs in various places. I never liked wearing gloves until I found these. And you can't beat the price. I cut the Velcro strap off of them as soon as I get them. I like being able to get a glove off quickly and the Velcro just gets in the way...
