JD Squared Model 32 Bender - Manual Bender

The Model 32 is essentially a super heavy duty version of the Model 3. However, when it was initially designed it in the mid 1980's it was a mechanical bender targeted at race car builders who wanted an affordable bender which still produced high quality bends. Fast forward 25 years and builders have changed gears. Now, rock crawler builders need to bend 2" O.D. x .250" wall DOM tubing and thin wall tubing is now more common than it was back then.

Differences between the two benders are: Frame strength has been more than doubled.7/8" diameter 100,000 psi alloy pins were upgraded to 1-1/4" diameter. A die locking mechanism was designed that both helps bend thin wall tubing as well as very heavy walled tubing by preventing the die from relaxing when not bending. Springback is the #1 cause of wrinkling thin walled tubing.The Model 32 has been designed for mechanical or hydraulic operation from day one.
