General Tech Rolling tube bender stand

[Justin Lake]

I just thought I would share this idea I had with those of you with little room in your garage for a tube bender, let alone bending some tubing. I originally had the stand mounted on my flat bed trailer but I hated it because I had to take the bender off every time I was done with it, or if I had to use my trailer. I wanted something that I could store in the garage, was easy to move around, stable, and a fold up hitch. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has built something like this but this is what mine looks like.

That is pretty cool. I have seen several rolling mounts, but never one on a manual bender. How does it tow?

I hope I never find out if it tow's well.

Thanks guys. Maybe this will help someone with a little garage and no space to mount a bender..... Like me.

I have had plans in my head for an axle stand similar to that, something that I can put into the receiver of a truck for when you need to torque on it, fold it up push it out of the way for storage.

Of course "re-gear-a-paloza" has been postponed due to "re-floor-the-house-fest 2012"

My shop that has been covered in grinder dust for the past year is now covered in wood laminate dust...

That's a great idea... Maybe I could adapt mine to do something like that. Good luck with your floor... you poor man
