Harbor Freight Tool

HF has a sale ad for a pneumatic 10 Ton short body ram for $22.99. I have not seen this tool but just trying to size it up from the pix it just might work in collapsing the
"Pinch Seam" when installing a larger down pipe. It would be worth a look see.

This is the one I was looking for when I had trouble with that firewall seam ..

Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

But, they were out of stock so went back to the old and tried crow-bar method. Still want to get one though as I'm sure sometime down the road I'll need it, at least that is what I'm telling my wife. A couple months ago it was on sale for $50.00.

OK, an update, it's hydrolic not pneumatic but I was able to get into the operational manual and the size is:

L-4 5/8 W-2 3/8 H-1 11/16

So....you would need a Hydrolic hand pump to make this puppy work.

Here's hoping that the above link will work.

At $50.00 it would be well worth it just to have that little spreader unit. This set would really be the way to go particularly if you had to buy the hand pump to activate the unit I was talking about.

Rog- if you can adapt the fittings, you should be able to use compressed air instead, however not with the same force...
Not sure if you're aware, but there's a harbor frieght store in Sacraghetto....

i bought a kit identical to that but in the Torin flavor. i LOVE it! its one of those tools that is so versatile that i keep finding more uses for it. in fact i started taking it with me on fourwheelin weekends in the bronco. it came to be VERY handy for bending out those boo-boos you tend to get on the trail.

i paid full price (with some birthday money!) and i still think i got a great deal.

Yep .. that's the 10 ton version. About the same price for the 10 ton version at harbor freight so your deal was pretty darn good.

Probably through "Granger" or a tool store such as Harbor Freight or Northern.
