Tony, I have a JD Squared I bought about20 years ago, came out of Florida, it is a manual bender, but they offer it with air over. I've built several cars using it, nerfs and etc, I really like it, in fact, we had the tech man from NHRA ck our cars a few years back, and he questioned what brand of bender I had, he said he had never ck'd tubing, in a bend, that was so consistant in wall thickness, he was glad to know what brand it was. I had bought a 12t, electric log splitter a loooong time ago, to eventually turn into a bender, but all it ever did was mash beer cans, a job it handled real good, 12 of them would end up about 3/4" thick, but I mounted it on it, and it sure makes bending tube, a lot more fun. Another thing I liked about it was, their dies are 120 degree, where most are only 90 degree, and a 90 will leave a mark on the tube, because you always have to go past a bit, to get a true 90. I just ck'd, they have the model 3 on sale now, at $100.00 off, $395.00/at $295.00. Bob
