That's the one I'm leaning toward, too. Plus, it looks simple enough to
bolt on my work bench.

the last one on the list as it looks more portable.

Thanks, Paul. I kind of figured as much. What do you think of the
benders at northern tool?

Greg,

Both the benders from Harbor freight are junk! Only good for thin wall
aluminum, brass or brake lines. Not good for bigger pipe. Been there
tried them both and they snapped in half like a stale pretzel. I would
go with the
industrial stuff next time around.

I'm looking to bend some tubing for a few small projects from
time-to-time. Mostly I'm looking at mild steel tubing anywhere from 1/2"


to 5/8" in size; and mostly round tubing but some square tubing, too.

For starters, I've taken a look at the following tools. Some of them
obviously don't meet my needs, but I thought I'd include them here,
anyway. Any thoughts or alternative tool recommendations?
