Compact Bender – Bench Mounting Modification

My HF compact bender is now mobile – sort of. I welded a 14” section of 2” square tube to the trunk, added leveling feet, and a 2” hitch bolted to the bench leg. This way I can apply lots of leverage with out having to bolt it to the concrete floor. I pull the hitch pin and can move/store the bender. Same height as hitch on the Jeep, so it can be REAL mobile if need be.

Handle has a 270 degree arc and swings out of the way when not being used.
Mounted at canted angle. Allows full arm swing and access to the dies.

I place 1/2” pipe inside the leg so that the bolts wouldn’t crunch it as I cranked the vise down.
