You will wish you had the hydraulic after ONE bend
Yeah. You're probably right. It will give me something else to strive for.
I've done 3 cages with my bender, all by hand. It's not THAT bad. A workout? Yes. End of the world? No. Now if you were say bending .120 wall CM, THAT is a pain... But it's not needed.
Agree, and for my entire cage I had 10 bends, not a one at 90, 4 maybe 15 degrees, everything else was straight pipe. FC cage would have a few more, but there is a lot of time between bending,fitting and tacking the pipe so you can "rest up". Its not like you're standing there bending all day long.
