[mariner41]

Too anyone out there,
I,m looking for plans, info, pics, or web sites on constructing a leverage multiplier kit for the Harbor Freight compact bender, bench or floor stand type. Any info on this subject is appreciated.
Thanks,

Best thing I can think of is look at the Shop Outfitters site and use that for your model. Never have seen one for the HF bender.

I've found some info on the leverage multiplier on the U.S. Patent Office under patent # 5626045, http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.htm
It gives good detailed drawings and theory of operation of the device. The only thing it does not give is exact specs. I think with a little studing, someone could adapt the assembly to the Harbor Freight bender. The only thing about this site is that you need to have a Tiff viewer that they specify in order to view and save the drawings. The viewer is free to download and easy to install. I hope this helps. Also I hope you can post your pics if you try this project.
