Locating and using a Compact Bender

[Big Barn]

When I poured a new concrete pad in front of my shop I set in two receivers to accept 2 and 3 inch square tube. These come in handy for benders, tire changers temporary jig setups for fabrication or???????

Forgot to mention, but you prob already figured out-- the top cross bar is for an anchor point to attach chains for comealongs etc. Terry

Now that's thinking ahead. I like it.

When I poured my workshop slab, I should have installed something like that. I DID remember to allow for
a mechanic's bay/pit that is 3' deep, 3' wide, and 6' long. Covered by a 1/4" Al diamond plate.

Thanks for the compliment but it was only done 8 years ago when I poured the new pad. I SHOULD have thought of it 38 years ago.

No one will ever accuse me of being 'quick thinking'.
