A bender is one of those tools that you never think you need that much, but once you have one, it becomes the most handy cord hanger in the shop. I did recently spend about $200 on materials and 8+ hours of my life building a bender to avoid paying $350 for a new one, but the two bends I used it for were totally worth it.

Dear Mr. Tony, Sir! I am normally not wont to comment on videos from worldwide celebrities with more than a million viewers, however, you have played such an important role in my recent post-surgery recovery that I have no choice but to express my heartfelt gratitude. Six weeks ago I had a titanium knee installed into my left leg (I had to have it done locally after Stefan refused to do it, and Adam didn't even respond!) and the only way I survived six weeks in a rehab clinic was to watch all of the videos you have published in the last 9 years. I am 80 years old and a retired research scientist, secretly disappointed that I did not become a machinist/tool maker, and your videos helped heal me, both physically and psychologically. One slightly sad side effect was the fact that the nurse who regularly came into my room to bring me pills and good news stopped speaking with me when, for the fifteenth time she saw me sitting mesmerized in front of my laptop watching a pair of hands waving about. It was a small price to pay. Please accept my gratitude for your endless efforts to entertain and educate and for allowing me to join you in your garage. Greetings to you and your son from central Germany.

Hey Tony, one thing about your videos that I've *always* appreciated... your attention to volume equalization/normalization (not sure which is the correct term here). It's super annoying to constantly have to fiddle with the volume while watching a KZread video because parts of it wake up the neighborhood while other parts are too quiet even at max volume. Your videos are always volume-constant from start to finish... no fiddling required. Regardless of what method you're using, you're doing it right, and it's much appreciated by your viewers.

Ending reminds me of my escapades with the shop class bender. I learned about work hardening of aluminum, shear strength, and gravity all in one convenient package 9.8m/s feels a lot faster when it takes you by surprise. Shop floors with odd blocks lying around also make cheap chiropractors.

I have a come-along that has an aluminum tube handle, as I recall from the instruction sheet it's a deliberate weak point so the handle will bend if whatever you're lifting/pulling is beyond the rated capacity. I'd suspect they went with a tube handle on this bender for similar reasons, the handle will bend before you break one of the cast parts.

Tony, This was one (if not the one) of your best videos. The comedy and education you provide is of great value to all of us! Thanks so much!

Good tip about checking the pivot point, I need to do that to mine as soon as I get the chance. I have always wondered why I constantly have to adjust the moving jaw so that it does not lock up. Also, for anyone buying something like this: Do not expect the mounting hole pattern to be square and symmetrical. I had mine accidentally turned 90° when I marked the holes and thought "a, doesn't matter, it's a square". Spoiler: It was not a square, and I had to "move" two of the holes.

Indeed, my bending die was also completely not on center, but contrary to Tony's mine was way too thin. That had the benfit that I did not have to machine ist and just could shim it out with some flat stock. But now it works way better.

BRB, going to get my welding mask for those porcelain hands

Had a similar one of these about 20 years ago from Princess Auto in Winnipeg. The machining of the fixed jaw was not square and made all the bends twisted on flat bar. Took it back to exchange it and found all their stock manufactured exactly the same. Got my money back. Never looked back.

I’m pretty impressed with how easily you bent the rules. And I laughed so hard at your final bend results! You sir are a genius!

I really appreciate how you went out of your way to empathize with the people who made the bender. You're awesome, thank you.

Benchtop bender has a certain ring to it!!! Oooh the after delivery cleanup, I just can't help myself deburring metal and plastic castings, especially handles when you get that sharp lip that irritates, the hanging thread even The chinesium PCBs with slightly ragged edges that cut like razor blades - just a couple of scrapes with a file .... Swapping the steel screws for stainless, a drop of grease and refixing the rubber grip to stop the edge curling. All part of the pleasure of getting new stuff. When I got married my wife caught me using the un-glazed ring you get on the bottom of cups to gently smooth the corner of my ring that was digging in (also good for final polishing the edge of a sharp knife!).

In hindsight, you then reflect on how your instinct was valuing expensive equipment over your own life, and utlimately concluding it was a fair trade. Because there's no way you're shelling out another $1200 for a 2nd one.

Can't say I've ever been disappointed or annoyed by the audio in your videos, and while the pre-amp version does sound slightly 'cleaner' it's definitely not enough of an improvement to justify all the extra work. The environment you're recording in seems to make much more difference, and you're always smart about when you record and how you treat audio when recording operating machines. Overall, do whatever you feel is easiest, because if it's what you've been doing previously, it already sounds great.

Aren't all M12 drills supplied with a 1/2" chuck? Mine both have it.

Get a brake drum from a 30 ton or larger truck. Open side down, cut 3/4 in inch scallops out of the edge so you have 3 legs. Weld a pole to the top. Tada! Super heavy tripod that won't tip!

Or just use the whole wheel and tire off the truck.

Keep the diff and the half-axle for smooth, smooooth panning action.

Bravo! The best command performance by a pair of hands ever! 👍👍

A confident man to drill bolt holes that deep by eye! Mine would definitely be wonky!

End a Sunday with TOT? Perfect!

Just got my first Tig welder, thinks for introducing the world of Tig welding to me

We switched to Davinci Resolve a couple of years ago for our channel from adobe. We are really happy and the free version of Davinci does almost everything you would want. We eventually upgraded to get faster render speed. Anyway. Love your channel and recommend Davinci. It's worth the relearning time.

It also does syncing. I bought the full version just for the insane features, but it's a one time purchase for $300 (got the speed editor and full resolve came with it), but all future versions are basically free upgrade. Never going to touch any adobe after this.
