Default Tool Suppliers near Boston? Tube bender... JD2 or Pro Tools

Anyone no where to get a good deal on a tube bender around Boston. Theres deals all over the net for full kits, but add shipping and its no longer much of a deal.

Or atleast let me know of a good tool supply company.

Thanks man, but with a tool like this i rather get a name brand. That way i could get more dies in the future without worrying about whether they went out of business.

Trick Tools. Shipping is gonna run you like 50 bucks. Figure it this way. You dont have to pay for gas to go pick it up or sales tax if you have it shipped. Depending on the model, the shipping is less than paying sales tax.

i have the jd2 bender but ended up getting it direct. shipping wasn't that bad and like stated earlier gas and sales tax will ended up costing more. they are pretty durable not much can go wrong with them once you buy one.

After pricing both pro-tools and jd2. I feel as if jd2 is better quality and shipping is almost 100 less!

For the same price as the protools pro 105hd shipped, you can get the jd2 model 32 that can bend up to .250 thick at 1.75" diameter and 1.5" solid!
