Bender ?

[dangerdog]

Which tube bender is better the protool 105 HD or the JD2 model 32. I would like to purchase a bender and would like some feedback from some of you that have used either.

They are both comparable to each other, I went with the 105hd

There are lots of benders out there. Do your homework and make your decision on the feedback you find. Either one mentioned are great benders. You can't go wrong with either.

Iirc the pro tools had cheaper dies was my deciding factor. They also had a bundle deal going when I bought mine.

I went with a Model 32, it's a Ford vs. Chevy thing.

jd2 because that is what all my friends have so its easy to share dies. which are the most expensive part

 

[dangerdog]

They are priced about the same now. Sharing dies would be good but know one around hear has one. The 32 says you can go up to 2 1/2 and I believe a thicker wall in 2". I guess I will have to pick one. Thanks for the replies.

when i researched it, the 105hd had a couple minor advantages over the jd2.. not much, but i went with them and am happy.. good company...
