is this what what cultural anthropologists call a "liminal moment"...

so simple of an idea, yet why did it take so long?

The Mad Scientist of Grip! A really cool idea. Let us know how training goes with this.

I sure will. I really like it so far.

Another great idea and video Adam! The adjustable length is very clever. I think instead of cheater bars though, you should call them frugal bars or something similar.

just re-watched this video.  do you think something similar could work for people bending rectangular stock?

and could something like this also work for reverse bending short steel?

Adam - That is a great idea!  I cut all of my steel with a chop saw and have had a ton of wasted sections that could have been saved over the years.  Very cool!

Is this supposed to be some kind of challenge? At least make it difficult.

I've put adjustable gripper handles on a short piece of 1/4" for reverse, it worked OK but long term would probably mess up the handles, so nothing to write home about.

Great idea here Adam!

I have also thought about using Megalodon handles to do something like this. I honestly think that if you took the time to make sure the set screws were tight it would be just fine and not tear them up.
