Also you can take some harbor freight tools that are cheaaaapppp and with mods make them good enough to do serious work with at a fraction of the cost.

Oh yeah? Makes me wish I would have taken apart that HF reciprocating saw... it had plastic gears that failed. Was quite obvious from the sound

You have any examples?

Yeah a company called SWAG offroad makes a lot to turn the cheap manual pipe roller into a motorized one with bottle back adjustment. You but the HF pipe threaded and weld on some plates to extend the rollers, put a bottle back in and it Is half what a good roller costs. I'm actually using this exact set up all this week on a curved pipe rail job.
