No more manual bending , went air over hydraulic .Started with my JD2 Model 3 bender added a Swag bracket and HF ram ,what a difference .
Bracket
I ordered it not welded and welded it up myself for a $30 dollar savings
Works great.
Total to go this way $200.00 not bad for the effort it saves.

Thats awesome. I have never used a pneumatic ram like that. But keeps from having to have an electric motor and such, and probably a lot less messy in the event it leaks.

That's cool. When I was in high school we converted the manual bender over to electric hydraulic. It was pretty sweet after that.

Had one in Tennessee before I moved……. well worth it. Time and materials save as you can really dial in precise bends by feathering the ball valve
