"U-Turn" Tube Bender Digital Read Out Kit

If you have used a tube bender before then no doubt you have had the pleasure of using a piece of glorified coat hanger as the degree pointer.

We have designed a low cost and very accurate digital read out that is accurate down to 1/10 of a degree, with a real time digital display. It works on the following manual, hydraulic or air/hydraulic tube benders: JD2-Model 3, JD2-Model 32, JMR, Woodward Fab WFB2, Pro Tools and Pro Tools 105HD.

Please take a look at the attached installation instructions. This product does require assembly, however we have done our best to provide you clear and well written instruction instructions to help clear things up. The digital angle finder is not included with this kit, and can be purchased directly from Harbor Freight HERE.

We could go on and on about the features and benefits of this product, however here is what one early user had to say about the Swag U-Turn Digital Read Out:

"I found that the instructions were very easy to follow and setup was easy. After getting the U-turn installed and ready to use I played around with some scrap tubing to get the readout dialed in and set. I bent a few different angles and doubled checked with an angle finder. It took about an 1 hour from the time I started to the time I had it dialed in and set.

After it was set I bent up two bumpers and found that it was a lot easier to have a digital readout to get the bends the same every time. It is also very nice to be able to write the bend numbers down for future reference.

All in all I would like to be the first to say two thumbs up. It is nice to know that people like you are out there to make my life easier. Thank you for letting me demo this for Swag Off Road.

I also need to know what I owe you for the U-turn because you are not getting it back, Les."

At this time we are not offering the DRO fully assembled. In order to complete this assembly, you will need to purchase the digital angle finder and assemble the kit. Typical assembly takes ~ 1 hour from start to finish and can be done with basic shop tools.

Perfect

This is a must have for any shop that bends tubing. I have used a JD2 M3 for years. I had it mounted to bend in the vertical so that I could use a digital angle finder. I converted it back to horizontal and used SWAG's U-Turn Digital readout. I must say that impressed is an understatement. Using BendTech Pro to design the parts and my bender equipped with the Air Ram conversion and DRO from SWAG my bends are 100% perfect every time. No more guessing, no more scrap, no more fuss. I just make sure that after each bend the DRO is zero'd for a perfect bend. A few seconds doing this saves tons of re-work when you need to have perfect bends each time.

Good choice

Swag goes out their way to make a quality product out of easily attainable items, should you need parts. The fit and finish are excellent and they just flat out work. This is such an obvious upgrade I am truly amazed that the original manufacturer of the bender does not make this standard. I use this daily. Very good purchase.

Huge Plus Over JD2 degree wheel

Works great for the bend. even the customization went pretty easy with the instructions provided. glady I had all the tools already i.e soldering iron, drill bits, tap, and saw blade. My only issue when using this is that I have to stop and reset where 0 degree is. the set screw that holds the base in place seems to slip at some point during every bend. so for each new bend, zero needs to be repositioned. Other than that, its highly accurate at very useful

Very nice!

Finally, this tool/mod makes the bender as useful as I had hoped when it was first purchased! Very clever idea and execution. No issues whatsoever with the install. Thank you.
