I'm going to get the Harbor Freight tool. If used properly, they will work fine.

I made a pipe bender using a automobile drum brake shoe (minus the pad) some car parts and scrap metal. It look Mad Max, but I have used it to build one hardtail motorcycle already.

We bent the lower tubes with it and I also bent the tube on my boardtrack racer with it.

Sweet..and..clever......must be a workout to run. How is it to bend thinner walled tube?

It's terrible... :lol:

Maybe if I filled the tube with sand.

A conduit bender could easily be made into the same thing I made.
