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.

Click here. http://click.topica.com/caac8ucb1dfltb6GIoLa/PermissionData ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
