The Williams Lowbuck Tools tubing notcher is a classic design that makes quick notches in tubing, but the average 4x4 enthusiast should really consider if it's for him. On the plus side, the notcher doesn't heat the tubing, it makes clean cuts, operation is quick, and you can generally run the same cutting die for more than one size tubing. On the minus side it's $325 and you can only notch the end of a tube, so if you're trying to pierce a tube for a mount it won't do it. Also, you're limited to 0.134-wall mild steel or 0.095-wall chrome-moly, so if you work with 0.188-wall or thicker you'll need a different notcher. View Related Article
