Hi,

Just wondering if any of the Malaysian forum members use any PE bending tools. Are they available locally?

Heard that there's a Mr. Fold It that's quite affordable.

Thanks.

Not yet Target_J, maybe some other time. As for now I'm using whatever's at hand (blades, rulers,etc)

TJ,

not that i know any local modeller use PE tools. I used anything that can do the work from metal ruler, plier, twizer etc..etc

the hold and fold thing is quite expensive..unless u're relly serious and use PE most of the them then it's recommended to get one.

u can also build a cheap PE tools ... visit this link to get the idea

hope this help

For X'mas this year, I got myself a 4in PE Bending Tool from The Small Shop. Before this, I had been using quite a bit of ruler and pliers. With the stash of PE sitting in my collection, I decided to go for a proper tool.

PE bending tools are expensive (ranging from RM180 to RM400) and not available in any local hobby stores. We tried to machine a PE bending tool locally but we do not have the quantity to bring down the cost. If anyone is interested in getting a PE bending tool, we can consolidate everyone's wish list and make a bulk order to save on the shipping cost. Interested???

Somewhere in this forum is mentioned that the Mr. Fold It costs around US$ 20 which is roughly RM 80.00. I think for those who use PE, this is definitely worth a try.
