CaptainCrush Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 My early Christmas presents came in the mail this morning thanks to Fox! I closed my eyes and picked one out to try which was the FNL TY one. This thing kinked like butter compared to the Triangle brand and went down very quickly to below 2 inches, 46 seconds to be exact. I'm sure it's gotta be the easiest brand of Edgins but what does a 6 inch FNL-TY Edgin calibrate to? I would compare this bolt to a shiny bastard, not kidding.

foxyj75 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Chad, those cal. at 665 at 6''. Congrats man!! Now try one of those "FNL" ones and tell me what you think! Felt in between to me, but I had done other bends before that one, so I could have just been smoked. Great job! Or better yet, try that fat HKT G2! :blink Or the 5/16 one, they're fun too!

CaptainCrush Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I tried the 3/8 HKT Grade 2 right after the Edgin. For the life of me I couldn't get the wraps tight around the head of the bolt. So it was loose as hell trying to bend it and very awkward. I am gonna run to the hardware store and get some new hacksaw blades and cut the head off it and give it another go this afternoon. I did manage to still kink it some though. 6 x 3/8 HKT Pic 1 6 x 3/8 HKT Pic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Good god that's an incredibly fast 6" Edgin bend!!!!!!!!!! Insane power Chad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The FNL 1/4" G5's I have are the easiest G5's I've tried also. It only makes sense the 5/16 versions would follow suit. SUPER SPEED CHAD!!! Now finish one in 19 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks my bending buddies! I'm really starting to get obsessed with these Edgins, even more so than stainless. I'm almost positive I can take down a 5.5 inch FNL-TY Edgin. I'm gonna order some right now I think. I also wanna be able to bend that 6 inch Triangle Edgin before this month is over. I think it's doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are tough! I got about the same kink in a 5''er. Stopped right there! Never tried a 6''. May have to later. Did you try the HKT 5/16 G2? Surprisingly hard for a G2. Fun too. Kinks in a sharp "V". BTW-- Hacksaw........ewwwwww..........I bet Odd Lots or Ollies has a pair of bolt cutters for around 20 bucks. Might be a good investment or present!!

I think it's "Do It Center" that has the "NB" brand G5's. Might wanna check that out as well. Would be an awesome step toward the triangle edgins as they cal at 710 at 6''. That brand was the first huge edgin I ever killed. Kinda sentimental I guess!! Edited September 10, 2008 by Foxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd like to see ya bend the 6 inch HKT just to get me fired up to do some more damage on it! I didn't try the 5/16 one yet but I will tonight. I just did some iso's on the Triangle 6 inch Edgin so tonight I should be recovered to do some more. The bolt-cutters are definitely gonna be purchased soon. It's not so bad cutting the threads off the Edgins with a hacksaw but for the heads it's a real bastard. I don't think I have a Fastenal anywhere near me so I'll probably have to order online.

Haha, I kept telling people that when I was bending the easier 420 bastard stock, those HKT G2's were about the same difficulty as a full 7" bastard at least. I never finished an HKT until recently when I revisited bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCrush Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks you guys! I'm headed out to the garage to attempt the 6 inch FNL Edgin now. Probably gonna kick my ass after all the other stuff I've bent today, we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Did some major damage on the FNL 6 inch Edgin. Not sure if it was just because I'm wore out or not but this bolt didn't seem that much easier than the 6 inch Triangle Edgin. Either way I'm sure that it will die tomorrow morning. I'm happy!

CaptainCrush Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 thanks guys! I'm back from, I kid you not, a 35 minute wrap session of the Huge FNL Edgin that would make Paul Knight jealous! Have you ever tried to wrap a bolt that was already bent to 2 3/4 and still had the head on it? I was sweating my ass off trying to get the thing tight. Well after I recover from that worthless workout I'll give it a go in about an hour. That bastard is gonna die quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
