I've bent 4 different 60's and kinked a grade 5. Bending since May. Just curious as to how I'm doing and where I can expect to be in the future.

I've been bending inconsistently for about 2 years. 60d's don't stand a chance, I'm trying to get consistent with the grade 5's and my best is a 240k challenge bar.

Here are some of my big bends:

5.75" RED (well under 1 minute, easy bend)

6.5" PINK (under 1 minute, good for much more)

7" Fat Bastard Stock (easy bend, would go a lot shorter but only had 1 piece)

I've no idea how any of the above compare to challenge bars although I think my recent best is the equivalent to a red nail.

ive gotten to where i can do a 5" blue but still no luck with the grade 5s hopeing by the end of the month to kink one

All the 60's I've encountered are tougher than a blue. I would think a 5" blue would equal most 60's though. Sounds like you are ready for grade 5's.

I forgot I did get a cut 60 (5 3/4") but not in a resonable amount of time.

I'm hoping to take down a grade 5 by the end of the month. Can get a good kink now.

Probably between the yellow and the blue

We must have quite different definitions of an "easy bend". To me, an easy bend is done in less than 10 seconds.

I consider a nail of that level done in under a minute to be easy. It is hard for me to even get my hands on a nail that is under 6" in length so it takes me a little while to get comfortable.

I put down RED because my best bend is 6.25" RED nail.

I must of gotten a tough batch of blues because they are as hard or harder than most 60ds I've tried (just not as hard as the dark ones.) A 5" blue of mine is just a hair easier than a grade 5.

I have done 60ds and kinked a grade 5- 5"x1/4" bolt that you can see in my gallery. I done some 6"x1/4" CRS yesterday cold, which wasn't extremely hard. Hopefully I can take the grade 5 down tonight after I have had a complete week of rest and my hands feel good and healthy.
