THE TIGHTER THE BETTER CLR...SO 5.5 IS THE ONE!!!ALL MY DIES,ARE THE TIGHTEST CLR YOU CAN GET AND IF YOU ARE ONLY GONNA BUY ONE DIE 1.75 IS THE BEST ALL AROUND!!!!

sweet Ill bring over some tube and give your bender a try...I need a stinger. and need to build a rear tire carrier/stinger bumper....I plan to get my own bender this winter but for now......did you get the software too??? From what i heard its worth the price...maybe you could ask someone on this board real nice and they could burn you a copy????

YOU CANT BURN A COPY SINCE IT IS SENT TO YOU IN AN EMAIL!!!!AND SINCE THE PROGRAM LOGS ON TO THE NET TO GET ACTIVATED IT MIGHT BE KINDA HARD TO GET INTO!!!!

Well, some software use a similar tactic but you can actually install on to multiple PC's and activate it multiple times under 1 license. I dunno how bend tech does it, but they have a 400 tube limit in the demo version?

I DONT THINK THEY HAVE A DEMO VERSION OF PRO,AT LEAST HE TOLD ME THEY WERENT GONNA???EZ WILL GET YA STARTED!!!!THATS THE ONE I HAD,THEN THROTTLE GOT EZ-3D,AND SINCE I HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRIS WHO OWNS AND DESIGNED ALL OF THE BEND-TECH SOFTWARE.WE WERE WORKING OUT SEVERAL OF THE PROBLEMS HE WAS UNAWARE HIS PROGRAM HAD.THEN WHEN IT CAME TIME TO RELEASE THE PRO VERSION,HE CONTACTED ME AND A FEW OTHERS WITH A FREE VERSION TO TEST!!!!AND I FOUND EIGHT PROBLEMS RIGHT OFF IN TWO DAYS!!!HE WENT THROUGH SEVERAL BETA VERSIONS BEFORE GETTING IT READY TO SELL!!!!

THEY ALL ARE GOOD PROGRAMS AND I CAN PROBABLY TEACH ANYONE TO USE IT IN 20-30 MINUTES!!!

ALSO EVEN IF YOU BUY EZ,WHEN YOU UPGRADE HE WILL ROLL THE PRICE OF WHAT YOU HAVE INTO WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AS A DISCOUNT.....FOR EXAMPLE,IF YOU BUY EZ FOR $65 AND LATER WANT PRO FOR $270,IT WILL ONLY COST YA $205 FOR THE PRO!!!
AND WHEN YA CALL FOR TECH SUPPORT YOU GET TO TALK TO THE GUY WHO DESIGNED THE PROGRAM!!!!

windows xp logged you onto the internet...but after a certain number of days it cleared its record...wonder if its the same....so what would happen if you updated your computer....it was just a thought. I saw a copy of it on limewire once but at the time I didnt need or even know what it was....but limewire is illegal so I dont not recommend that....:wink:

Why the JD2 and not the ProTools bender, or the JMR which is better than both but more money.

i was looking at the JMR bender and it costs 200$ more the dies cost about 100$ more and it has a CLR along with only being able to do 120 one one of them and the one that can do at least 180 cost 200$ more per die set..

the PRO TOOLS bender is less expensive for the complete package 635 for the complete standard package *Complete Packages Includes, Bender,Stand,
Degree Stop Ring, Extension Handle, and 1 Standard Die Set, Your Choice of Size.
the bad with it i see is that it can only bend to 120 and up to .134 wall dom(looking at the 1.75 dies) and it also has a bigger CLR then the JD2

I have the Pro Tools, the vendors on pirate do sell the 180 degree dies and yeah the smallest CLR is 6 but I do like it alot especially since I converted it to electric over hydraulic.

B2krawler bought his off of pirate from some guy back east. Nice set-up, no hydro for now, just a big ass breaker bar. I learned how to bend tube today. Bent my radiator hoop for my jeep today with some assistance from B2. He only has 1.5" die. When we need bigger, he just pics one up from his friend.
