It comes with a tool to unscrew it, and let it go back into start position. It may not move by itself, just push it a little, not much effort required.

I'm not sure about theother units as I don't have them but possibly they will be faster than the HF unit, it's not too fast. But with a 20% off coupon it's a deal :) I have used the harbor freight ram.

I also have a jd2 bender and I am interested in converting it to air over hydraulic operation. Could you please tell me where you purchased your air over hydraulic unit? I see that Harbor Freight sells a 20 ton air over hydraulic jack for $89.99 that has an air over hydraulic unit that looks very similiar to yours. I have also seen these same units selling for a few hundred dollars just for the air over hydraulic unit without a jack. I will appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks, David Hi,

Also of where/how the bender attaches to the stand? Thanks Brandon Do you have any close up pics of how you attached the piston end of the ram? Also of where/how the bender attaches to the stand?

No need to buy a kit. The copperhead fab kit makes the ram pivot and thus you need to hold it. Mount int with some play at the end like mine shows in the 2nd pic from the top (rounded edges) and the ram will PIVOT on the mount not need to actually move with the bend. This works great, not the fastest tube bender but it does bend tube easier than by arm/hand. The piece is under it still :) Using it to support HEAVY items on the cart actually, works good.

I've got the Pro-Tools 105 manual bender, and just picked up this HF ram and will be ordering the Copperhead bracket kit. I've been looking for a similar stand, and this doesn't look too bad to make at all. Did you cut off the base of your original stand or is it just below the big sheet of metal at the bottom of your cart? Thanks, : Greg That’s a great looking stand!
