Default Hossfeld Bender Opinions

I have a chance to buy one of these, including the stand, with every die they produce except the scroll bending ones. It has been converted to a hand pump hydraulic unit (kind of rigged) and it looks well used. It functions perfectly. $1800 for the whole mess. I can't imagine ever using all the dies, but the total cost for everything would be 3.5-4k
Thoughts or opinions?

Darren

I'd be all over it if I had the chance I think...

Thanks Greg, I am probably going to snap it up. These units are the grand daddy of tubing benders. Knock offs use Hossfeld dies. The unit has almost every die they make for it, probably closer to 6-8 grand worth of stuff.

Darren --

I don't know how you could go wrong with this piece - at the price - the brand - and the amount of equipment you're getting....

Just eBay the dies you'd never use....and the deal looks even better! LOL


Best,
