In the Ring corner: The Right Pipe Bender

Kink vs. Bend

Gotta admit, I was pretty upset about my crappy bend jobs yesterday.  As careful as I was, every bend would kink just a little bit. After looking at forums, everyone assures me that a good 'bender' won't kink.

So Guess what? Time to spend more money! I went to summit and picked up a summit brand pipe bender.  The results speak for themselves.

Below, Guess which one is a good bend and which one is a bad one?

The top one is the crap one and the bottom one was my first try on the new bender.  Bam. PERFECT.

Picture is at a different angle - bottom pipe is the bad one just in case you couldn't tell.

A quality bender will just flat out work. No, 'fill pipes with sand/sugar to prevent kinks' BS.  Just go spend money on a quality bender and save money later on!

Anyway, I might try doing some bending tomorrow.  If not, it will have to wait until this weekend. And yes, I will half-ass more Boxing analogies in future posts.

Until then!
