Thread: New Bender

Tweet

Well I just got back from the tool store, I had to replace a wheel on
my 3 ton floor jack after the guys I hide to move my Lathe used it
and bent one of the wheels. While I was in the store the wife said look
around and see if there is anything else you need while we are here.
Well I guess they must be struggling for business too.
I found some stuff on clearance sale,.
The thing I really liked was the floor mounted pipe bender that is
normaly pricey. The only one, they had left was the demo model.
And it was missing a piece which we pulled out of a bench
top models with the same design. Then the guy had to print out the
directions for it off there computer. On top of it being marked down
the guy gave me 20% more off it for making me wait for him to find
the other piece and print the directions, plus there were a few
scratches on it. How much did I pay, you ask?
Would $65 dollers be to much?
HE! HE! HE! HA! HA! HA!
Man I love getting good deals on tools. Kurt

Good score. I love deals too. Just bought a brand new $600 drill press for $ 299.00 because the handle was missing. Ordered a new handle, $ 14.00 and it is now just like it's $ 600 Brothers. I guess the store could have done the same thing I did and then sell it for the regular price, but someone was either lazy or didn't think about it.

What are you going to bend up with your new toy?

I'm still working on the roll cage for my 65 ranchero.
I keep getting sick so it's taking for ever.
Here are some photo's mixed in with family pictures of the car.
Next I'm gonna buy a bead roller for the floors.
Maybe I'll be able to get one of those on clearance too. HE! HE! HE!
I allready had a pipe bender but this is the kind some of the guys on
here told me to use. Kurt

You keep scoring these good deals, you're gonna run out of sick days and then you'll have to get busy......LOL!

Sounds like you scored on having the perfect wife also! LOL

Ya Guys; For me being so sick this has been a good month.
Got a 1930's regal Leblond lathe for about $900 bucks with all the tooling.
But we are gonna have to keep an eye on Don, he's trying to get all the deals as well.
