"What's different about it from other presses or benders is that it's portable enough to move around easily by hand and doesn't take up a lot of room in your shop or garage. It stands 2-ft. high by 10-in. wide and is made out of channel iron and pipe. The top and bottom are 12-in. lengths of 8-in. wide channel iron. The top piece has the flat part facing down; the bottom piece, which is filled in on the ends, has the flat side facing up. Four 16-in. uprights made from 2-in. dia. pipe mount in each corner. A hydraulic bottle jack stands at the center. Bent loader teeth hang below the top plate for straightening. A U-shaped piece of steel plate can be used to bend strap iron.
"I also set my shop-built mini anvil on top of the tool."
