The IronMind Gold Nail™ is the new pinnacle of all unbraced short steel bends.  An order of magnitude bigger and badder than the IronMind Red Nail™, the IronMind Gold Nail was created in 2011 when it was suggested on the IronMind Forum that the Red Nail needed a big brother.  After field testing a prototype, the IronMind Gold Nail was established at 8-3/8" x 3/8".  Who will be the first to certify on the IronMind Gold Nail and lead the charge in short steel bending history?
