    Pipe bender dies, which size?

    I just picked up a JMR bender and 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.625" and 1.75". Depending on what you are building, and if you dont have a specific purpose (ie. rollcages)... I would buy a 1" and 1.5" Your other option is find someone local with the other sizes you need and rent/borrow them.

    Worth 2 Post Lift

    The Whip WAS10 is also around 2900-3100 and is another American Made option. I bought one 2 yrs ago, and compared it to my buddies Direct Lift that he saved $600 on, and it was no comparison. I think Worth has a 2 piece column and the Whip has 1 piece...

    Monumental 2-Post Lift Day in the Barn!

    After messing around with a plumbob, I scrapped the idea and just use a 1/2" nut on the end of a string. I found most plumbobs are too long to hang down when lifting a car. But the use of a "plumbob" is the best way I found to get my arms situated perfectly everytime.
