I'm waiting to be witnessed, shouldn't be any problem Wasn't this done after a day at your house? Bending 2 reds that day. Yes, among other things. Not the smartest thing for Steve to do, bending at midnight after 4 hours of training but what the heck right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 My 280's should be boarding the plane, along with some their friends, bound for Texas, as we speak. I seem best suited for bends over 6". I don't quite know why, as my hands are relatively small. I can't wait to see what that 5 3/4" 280 feels like, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Yes all bars have been sent. So have fun. And those who have emailed me today I will get to you soon, I've just come in. The bending prowess of many just keeps rising, I'm even impressed how mine has improved steadily. I'm sure some people will certify on 300k+ bars this year. But the big question is, will Pat kink the 450k (7 ½” x 10mm) Cold rolled steel bar? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffPeterson Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Do you have any light bars left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Gillingham Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Are the IM Green, Yellow, and Blue, nails cold rolled steel? How about the red? It looks like the IM Red and the 8mm bars are very similar in diameter 0.3125" compared to 0.315". Has anyone actually put a caliper on these to get a true measurement?? What then is the IM Red made out of since at 7" long I'm assuming it is much harder than the 220k challenge bar?? Excuse my ignorance...I'm just a pincher. Thanks.

David Horne Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Jeff, Yes we do have some light bars left. Although the bars seem to go so quick! I will have to get another batch prior to the Grip champs. Wade, The 'Red' is CRS, but it is a tough springy kind. But the toughest 8mm bars I've had were the HRS bars that started at 300k ish. These must have been tempered, and the Holle's couldn't bend them and Pat thought they were crazy! So although width has some bearing, it is not as much as what kind of steel it is. A very simplified example would be the difference between a lead bar and a titanium bar. Are you going to be having a go at bending? Maybe you can be a 'king' of this as well as pinching!

amaury Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Wade is the King of Pinch in the USA, you are the King of Pinch in Europe. Let's see a competition between you two someday, it would be great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Gillingham Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 My bending sucks but at least it is better than my card tearing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
