The jack is for rebar removal, not for bending. I just use a pickaxe
though. I love my tight bend 1/2" rebar. But I use a forge and a jig to
make it. Not everyone is a welder or blacksmith. Lags seem pretty sweet.

As for a 12V drill, I would try it, esp. if I had a ratchet or box wrench
handy to overcome static friction in the event. If it doesn't work, it's
not like you won't have neighbors on-Playa.

Steve - just a rechargeable drill? Not an impact driver? Wondering whether
my 12V drill would do it - or maybe a combination of that and a ratchet.

Was really impressed with this suggestion back in 2010. Commented as much
then, so I must have understood what KrazyKorny meant. But today I am
staring at a bunch of 2' long pieces of 3/8" rebar wondering how I am going
to use a bumper jack to bend them to form hooks on one end?
Can anyone
I just use 2 5 foot lengths of gas pipe with coupling fittings threaded to
the ends to minimize damage to the pipe. The first bend starts with the
pipes flush, then I move them about an inch apart to complete the nearly
perfect U bend. When the rebar is driven, the two legs give you immediate
The jack is for removing. Of course! Now I know why I thought that was
brilliant.

And now I know why I couldn't remember how -- or make any sense out of how
-- a farm jack would help me bend rebar.
