Ah damn, the cone of shame.

I was at my Buddy's house on Saturday, and he picked this up and said "somehow I have 3 of these.... so this is yours now". Honestly, I didn't even know what it was. But it looks like a pretty cool tube bender. Any of you use one like this?

 

Last pic is dog thinking" I know what's missing and we're gonna have some trust issues now."



But dogs don't have too long of a memory though.



I have bender like that but Grey. It is somewhere in the bottom of one of my toolboxes.
I have no idea how to use the markings on it and I remember that it helps if you put a little oil on the bend lever saddle.

 

Hey @Phil48315 do you know where I can find one of these in stock? I need to get one for my Buddy, and everywhere I look says it's out of stock.

Thanks for the tip Noobs... that's good to know.

I think that since this is an OEM Tools branded bender, it's probably an Autozone rental that either him or one of his employees didn't take back.

 

I have a black one like that.

 

Mine is black as well. Think it's more suited for bending soft copper tubing..maybe aluminum. From what I recall, brake lines where a little tough for that one. Air conditioning, refrigeration bender...

 

Found some used on E-bay.

DOH!! Should've been more specific Phil, sorry. He's looking for the little Corvette placard/plate that goes there.

 

I'm guessing he used it to bend trans cooler lines. I'm not sure what they're made from, lol.

 

Yea, they would have to be thin. You can do brass or even stainless as well, but has to be paper thin. Throwing the tool in a vise don't work lol.
