So I figured I'd try out my rod bender. Got it on clearance for $23 CAD and I have to say I'm happy with it

Took about 5 minutes to knock this out for a pattern...


Just happy to be here.

Started these, but the welder is in storage from the move. Also, not sure if I made them big enough for Duke #4 coil

Terrence, it is a store branded bender from Princess Auto (like Canadian Harbor freight), but it's identical to the Kaka Industrial Universal bender on Amazon

Only reason I got it was the clearance sale, you can see they are a bit spendy

That's a nice body grip holder. Ideal for under the ice.

Terrence, I figure you'd have $60 in it to build one if you don't have access to scrap steel, plus it's black oxidized and probably hardened also

We got plenty of scrap metal to use for your rod. Nice gadget, Slydogx.
