    You don’t even need to heat it. #5 or 6 (1/2 - 5/8 inch)rebar fabricated in the manner shown in this pictures would fuck up a tire good.

    You can easily bend it 45 degrees with a good vice and piece of pipe.

      Oh fuck I forgot about the pipe trick, and that's what we use at work to tighten this big ass vice with a spoked wheel. Instant leverage boost, I love it!

        You don’t even really need a vice or pipe.

        My concrete kids forgot to bring fucking every tool to a site. I just lifted a skid steer bucket off the the ground, put the rebar in between the ground/bucket and used the length of rebar as leverage.

        You would waste a bunch of material building them this way. But that shit is pretty much free at every construction site after hours.
