Paul Knight Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I took a KOASB to about 160 at Casey's house like 6mo ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've put about a 15 degree kink in a piece of 4.5 x 23/64 12L14 CRS a few days ago. I bowed a piece of Speedy Metals 3/8 x 7 303 stainless to bout 10 degrees and also a piece of 7/16 x 7 12L14 CRS to a few degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberg Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You guys are crazy! Ive gotten about a 15 degree kink in a grand brutal hex. That thing is nasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyWeight Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) That's a tough one to answer for me. If I can kink it, I can generally finish it or overcome the kink/sweep within a couple workouts and kill the bend from start to finish. And so far, the only thing I have kinked and haven't eventually killed from start to finish are my Big Bastard failures. I'm guessing that I'll kill the kink next time I try though, all things considered. I anticipate that if I have to work hard to kink a Hex or Edgin I may get stuck on them. Otherwise, it really depends on how well rested I am before bending. I tend to fail relatively easy bends a day or two after intense pressing and SM event training, but do well after a good three to four day's rest. Right now, I need to overcome the kink (beyond a wobble!) on an Edgin, Grand Shiny and Hexabastard.

ewokhugo Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Brutal power guys! isnt the Koasb closer to the 303 ss (3/8"x7")? just wondering what GAZZA can do here ... he bend one KOASB using IM wraps in less than 9 mn!... Darin, at your level the big bastard its already DEAD!(without to worry about to finish it). grand shiny bro! go for it! u can win the race ... if u can kink it it will die!!!

liam.mccaffrey Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 back before i quite bending i just wobbled a 6" shiny and put about 25 deg on a big shiny since coming back I have wobbled 3 bastards from 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yeah I'm almost positive the KOASB is 303 stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthcarl Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I've never really tried shorter stuff. The brutal Hex is probably the hardest ting I ever kinked at 7", and I also finished it (not in one session, though). I put a mini-kink in some 5/16" square CRS, but not enough to bother measuring degrees I have no idea where that calibrates. I've also warped a 3/8" HKT G2.

gazza Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ive put a 10-20degree kink in a bar slightly bigger than a MOASB a couple of times when at my best once in ironmind wraps when i was feeling really crazy really destroyed the index fingers tho. Also hurt a grand koasb a few times in ironmind wraps again kills the index fingers big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Back in my kink prime I managed to put about 4-5 degrees on a skoab and about a 20 degree kink on a 4.5" Edgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyWeight Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 A little update: I'm stuck at 90deg on the Grand Shiny So I guess that's my kink P.B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
