HF Pipe Kinker Tech, mods, alternate uses and tooling

Fake sell it on HL until an OG shows its true value :flipoff1:

Hell, add to it the uses of a freaking highlift. I have inappropriately used them bitches to get a lot done :dblthumb:

**** when I drug it out to take pictures, that was the first time I'd touched it in 7 years, and then it was just because I moved...

I bought mine in highschool and built my first rig with it though. Still running the main part of the cage on my current rig

 
I bought mine when I was in high school to build a cage on a Nissan truck out of black pipe from lowes an never done anything with it but bend some windshield bars for a jeep! Now I'm gonna go drag it out of the cob webs an try to straighten my links.

I don't know about all this tech, but I threw mine at an annoying cat one time. Did a real good job of stray cat eradication.
 


This picture shows it setup as a brake. This was the first lower die. The one I have now is same length as clearance between the vertical brackets of the bender frame. This was I can bend as wide as I can fit in the bender. The small legs are to keep the lower die centered in the frame, this is also why the c clamp is on the top. That keeps the top die stationary to the frame.

I flip the top die over, remove the angle iron from the bottom and this gives me a flat surface to dimple with.

The picture with the dimple dies was long before I added the angle iron.




Sorry for the for sale thread hijack. I know I'm a guilty party on that one.
 
A friend and I split the cost of $189 in high school. We "built" several kinked bumpers and rock sliders with it. I've used it more to straighten bend things and as a press than as a pipe bender.

If you cut a 2" piece of pipe, and split it in half into semicircles, place between the pipe you want to bend and the "followers", it keeps from denting the pipe as bad.
