Someone recently asked about a ring roller like the one used on American Chopper and the one at Shop Outfitters was suggested. I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a new one on the market that might be worth a try.
I went to a Homier truckload tool sale yesterday and they now have one for $99.99. It looks to be about the same size as the Shop Outfitters' version but instead of a large wheel it uses 4 handles. The top roller has ball bearings mounted in 4-bolt flanges and the bracket holding the lower rollers is raised with a small hydraulic jack to control the amount of bend.
It looks like it might be decent but they only had a display with none to sell this time. The one thing I noticed that I didn't like is that there were no grooves in the rollers for bending rod. I'm sure you could do it anyway but the grooves help keep it straight.
Here's a link for anyone that's interested:
