What exactly are you looking to bend as there is a big difference between a pipe bender and a tube bender.

 

[I69offroad]

i want to build a roll cage and some other stuff for my new project.

 

[LORDDiESEL]

gottrikes bender is balls out, bro.

very easy to fab up, too!

You would be wanting a tube bender like LordDiesel is talking about, not a pipe bender.

Im currently fabing up the got trikes bender aswell. Huge thread on that bender @ pirate4x4

Is there a place locally that i get the 8Ton air over hydraulic ram? P.A. only has the manual ones and I have no idea where else to look... I know harbor freight sells them but i rather keep my toonies in my own country if you know what i mean.

similar to that one with the air attachment, but i need a long stroke one, the same length as on a engine hoist.

same as this exact one:

Acklands has one.......$305 mg: :cwm24:

 

[95zr2]

I regularly shop there (with the company card only :*******) and there prices are insane, usually 20-30% more than kms, pa, summit.

Thanks for your help so far.

[zedjay95]

this is the one i want http://www.metalmaster.ca/

 

[grumpyguy]

This one from KMS is a good deal. It's complete with handle stand and 3 dies, but it's made in China.

[POWERWAGON]

it's about the same price at KMS or a JD bender after buying the bender, three dies and shipping. i was just about to order a JD one too!

i think i'll cruise by them tomorrow.
