[QUOTE="hoeker, post: 38700, member: 419"] that style can definitely be built cheap, but is not near as user friendly as the pro-tools style. vertical units are difficult to set up without an additional hand, especially when doing compound bends. also if you notice the pro tools unit has a hinged top. i wouldn't give that up for any savings in cost. i would really recommend going with the style of the pro tools unit. i spent 300 bucks on a good quality 10 ton porta power, and made the cylinder attach like the pro tools unit. when i'm not using the bender i unscrew the cylinder and have the porta power for whatever else i need it for. killed 2 birds with one stone. i am going to start looking for a 15 ton cylinder one of these days, but i'll still use the porta power hand pump. for what its worth. .02?
