SWAG Electric Drive / Bottle Jack Kit For The Harbor Freight Tubing Roller
Choose Options
The Harbor Freight Tubing roller is in a league of its own based on one simple principle.....price. The HF tubing roller, which includes the machine and three roller die sets, (1.0" 1.5" and 2.0" round tube dies) is a great machine for the price. However at such a low price point there is definitely room from improvement.
This kit uses the Harbor freight electric pipe threader and the Harbor Freight 4 ton bottle jack, however it can be broken up if you are looking to use just the bottle jack or the electric pipe threader attachments by it self.
You will notice in the pictures above that we also have our weld on wings kit installed, the wings are highly recommended in conjunction electric drive / bottle jack kit. We have modified the tubing roller far beyond it's original design intent and the weld on wings reduce the amount of stress on the center drive axle, bearings and roller dies, it also reduces premature wear on the electric pipe threader.
The weld on wings, 4 ton bottle jack, electric pipe threader and the Harbor Freight tube roller is not included with this kit.
We know what you are thinking, how many Chinese parts can you attach to this tubing roller? Rest assured the pipe threader is a true work horse. It is rated at a 2.15 HP motor equivalent, more than enough power to easily swing a 200 lb man in circles if desired. We have tried to kill the pipe threader by rolling a 20' piece of 1.75" .120 wall DOM material down to a 24" dia circle. in less than a hour... it got hot, but still works as good as the day we pulled it out of the box.
All material is laser cut out of 1/4" steel, springs, bottle jack clamp and detailed color instructions are provided.
The 4 ton bottle jack and electric pipe threader are not included with this kit. This bundle will convert your roller to utilize these upgrades.
The HF 4 Ton Bottle Jack can be purchased HERE.
The HF Pipe Threader can be purchased HERE.
Please note that this kit is designed to work with the Harbor Freight Central Machinery Pipe Threader. It will not work with the new Bauer Threader.
Let's do the math, your HF tubing roller $250, our electric drive kit $90, a HF 4 ton bottle jack $30, and a HF pipe threader $230, total cost = $600. For the total cost of $600 you have an electrically driven tubing roller that comes with 3 die sizes 1.0" 1.5" and 2.0" round tube dies. Hydraulic applied down pressure. No other kit on the market even comes close at even 2.5X the cost. In addition we over 70 different dies all designed to fit the HF tubing roller.
If you're looking to speed up the assembly process and don't want to weld the 1/2" pipe threading die that comes with the Harbor Freight pipe threader kit to the tube roller drive axle, we now sell a fully Machined Drive Hub that will allow you to easily attach the pipe threader to the drive axle. The 1/2" pipe threading die is not sold individually through Harbor Freight, so once it is welded in place you are not able to take it off if/when you need to use the tool as it was originally intended for. We also sell the tubing roller drive axle that is machined out of 4130 chromoly steel.
A great upgrade. I fabricated a custom rack on wheels. Easy to operate way better than that big bus wheel hahah. I use it a lot for tube steel plus flat bar. Makes the job way faster and easier. Worth every penny. Thanks
I've upgraded my jd2 notcher with their product and now my HF tube roller. I have the wings and the bottle jack kit on it never did the electric pipe threader. This thing performs perfectly now. The threaded top plate blew out doing 1.75 Dom tubing. After the bottle jack was installed it made the job so much easier. No complaints other then after welding the spring hangers to the shaft attached to the center die it was to shirt and I couldn't pin it properly. Maybe it's an error on my end? Idk the direction were decent but it seems something is a miss. Ended up rigging it to work and it's just fine. The clamp that holds the bottle jack to the center die plate was to small so I had to grind it down to make it work. Overall I'm happy and would absolutely recommend
Only picture I have is what I did with it 🤷🏻♂️
I haven’t seen any of these upgrade parts form this order yet because l will not be at the shipping address until this coming March, but Swag has never let me down before so l am confident there are no issues regarding what l ordered, the quality or correctness. I plan to order the combo rollers by next month for the 1.75” King cap rail and bottom channel when l see they are in stock again.
I took on a job to bend 2 OD stainless steel tubing to a specific radius . Had to pack the ID with sand to keep it from deforming. Using the HF tube roller with the hand wheel seemed like a great idea at the time. Well after about two hours and only achieving some minimal bending action , I said screw this. I had to make 10 pieces. My older body wasnt up to this crazy workout. So I bit the bullet and bought the SWAG electric drive/ bottle jack kit for my HF tube roller. Dam this thing is awesome. Not only did it reduced my production time in a big way , it also saved me from the physical part that I really cant do anymore. The price, quality,support and service was great . Thanks SWAG .
A great upgrade for my HF tubing roller I have installed it just haven't used it
Out of the box, my HF roller worked for 20mins before it failed, as to be expected from China made tools. Added the SWAG kit, along with the 4130 drive shaft and billet wheels. Now I actually have a tool that works great, that didn't break the bank.
The tubing roller kit made a steering wheel hoop easily and quickly. Can't wait for the next project!
Great product for the harbor freight tubing roller.
This is so easy and simple but such an improvement, Thanks Guys!
I had already purchased the extension wings from Swag which was a MAJOR upgrade. But, the effort it took to turn the wheel was still exhausting. This kit makes it a breeze and speeds up the process exponentially!
I bought this to put the motor on my harbor freight tube roller. It is one of the best tool mods I've done. Rolling tube is now (literally) as easy as flipping a switch!
This is a great upgrade to the HF roller. The parts are well made and are very easy to assemble. It really increases the productivity of the roller. Swag shipped the parts really fast. Two day delivery half way across the country.
bought them all after trying roller as it came. rolled two 24ft circumference hoops out of 2" diameter .188" wall steel pipe in about an hour and a half. I really dont think I would have accomplished it with out the mods. Great products guys.
Nice quality parts. Turns a hf tool into something that can actually do the job you want.
well made easy to assemble
Started to do this on my own but when I saw the price for this I went ahead and ordered it. Great Product. I worked out really well for me. I've bought other things from Swag and was very pleased as well. Only item I can mention is the decal is just a little too big to put on unless you trim it off. Painted mine orange and colour coded my wheels. I'm now delighted with my bender. Oh, did I mention it works like an absolute charm?
Just motorized my harbor freight tubing roller. Took about 2 hours, fired it up....SWEET! Bend another roll cage tube which has been taking me about an 1.5 hour each...did it in 6 minutes. would be a little better to have a ring for jack shaft to fit into and a better jack base clamp. Worth EVERY penny
I am very happy with the final product. In the instruction it said to cut the pin to 5" long but it needs to be left stock at 6" and I added a piece of round tubing so the top of the bottle jack had something to center it and keep it secured in place. Overall a great product !
This kit is a Must Have for anyone wanting to use the HF Tube Roller regularly. It is a great improvement to the roller assembly. The kit was easy to install! Thanks for a great KIT!!!
This makes all the difference in rolling tubing. I would recommend getting the wings to go with this. Nice product.
Now I have been trying to come up with a way to do this for some time and SWAG certainly came up with a very clever solution...and it works great! It does take time and patience to install but well worth it. A very affordable solution for a fraction of the cost to buy a motorized tube roller anywhere else! Nice job guys!
I was really impressed with the quality die set that I bought from Troy to bend 2 square tubing. I use it professionally for decorative iron projects and driveway gates. I had manually turned lighter material many times, but the 2 stuff really tested my 50- year-old arms. I ordered Troys wings and electric/bottle jack kit. Wow. Once again I am impressed with the quality of the materials as well as the forethought and instructions that went into turning $600 worth of Chinese goods into a bending device whose closest rival sells for$4,500 +. I dont particularly like buying Chinese goods, but Troys improvements are All-American and offset my guilt two-fold. Thank you again, Troy!
I purchased the weld on wings, hydraulic jack assembly, and the add on power kit that uses the harbor freight threader. I am very happy with this setup and have used it for five bends on the front of a samuri. This set up works perfectly. I would recomend this to anyone looking to have a great working roll bender in their shop. Thanks Troy for the great product. You have a customer for life.leo
I added your whole package to the HF tubing roller. Just what I like to do, make something great out of something good. The quality of you parts and the detail of instruction is first class. One thing I did was to disassemble the handle of the threading tool, removed the switch and side button. Replaced with a 120v toggle switch, it fit perfect in the button hole, soldered the common wires together and soldered the hots to the switch. Sanded the backside of the paddle lever down and super glued back into place just to fill the gap in the handle. It never felt like the lever switch and button were long for the world anyway. Now I just flip the toggle and use the foot switch. Took about 30min to make the modification.
I've had the manual HF Roller Bender for two years, doing everything by hand, before foregoing this unit here. Not only is the electric drive from the pipe threader strong and geared right for this clever application of off the shelf parts from HF, it makes it nearly effortless. I can roll tubing to 22" ID in no time. Get the Weld-On Wings and you have a roller that can do what some machines in the 3k mark can do.
Along with the wings this kit turned my HF tube roller into a professional tool. My tube roller can do anything those expensive tube rollers can do thanks to SWAG! I saved a ton of cash!
Your prices in the 2nd to last paragraph of the description need to be updated. Otherwise, thanks for the price breakdown etc. Love your products!
