benders with alt/open tunings

I love what this guy does with a slide and a hipshot.

So much so I'm considering a bender for my baja in open D, cost wise it's much of a muchness between the various models so I would get the bender with palm G and toggle but what to do with the palm lever and toggle?

So in open D or E if you prefer how would you employ the toggle and palm lever?

Edit: where am I going wrong with the youtube embedding?

Probably start with raising the 3rd string F# to G, and the 2nd string A to B. Both gives you an open G chord/G tuning on the top 4 strings. Raising the 2nd string to B gives you a D6th chord. But you'd need the palm lever and the hip lever. You could use the toggle to lower the 5th string A to G. Then you'd have the possibility of using all three at once, and being in bottleneck Low G tuning.

Maybe I'll give that a try later. Would like to see the vid.

Yes that seems sensible, Gmaj, Gmaj7 and Gsus2 with the drop tuner engaged.

I've found a reverse chord thing online so have tried it out. Seems I can also get a A sharp minor triad on the 1st 3 string using the B bender.

The vid I think has been posted before, it's a forumite I've found out in hindsight. There's a link in the OP which should work. :)
