So you're claiming those company's use thinner material without any actual knowledge? As in pulling that claim out of your ***.

I've talked to rusty a few times about his long arm material.
No, that would hurt.

Didn't realize you so much invested in those companies.

So you're going to claim that everyone builds their arms with .25"wall D.O.M.?
Did you pull that out of your butt as well?

And kinking a piece of tube in a press is a far cry from doing it right, just so ya know.

Who am I claiming besides rusty's has. .25"? I asked if you had any proof since YOU were claiming they didn't.

I have no issue using a cheap HF bender to put a slight bend in .25" DOM. Its not like i would shove 2x.25 dom in a JD2 bender. It only takes a 5-10 degree bend on the long arms which is WELL before the kinking point of tube that thick.

I based my comments on experience with those products and with my own.

As I stated earlier, TNT, Rusty's, and RC do not specify material thickness for their arms.

I do.

At no point did I bash any of them.

I have used a 16 ton pipe bender to slightly bend some heavy wall dom. No kinks. Bent it with ease.

A few pages back I was worried about long arms unintentionally also being rock sliders. Apparently I need not worry.
