I know this topic has been discussed before but I thought I would see if there are any new ideas.. I am looking for an inexpensive Tube Bender for 1 1/2 tubing. I will not use it very often, just have a few tubes I want to bend a little bit. Will something like this work at all...  Thanks |

If it doesnt have dies it will kink. saw a little one that sits on the floor and bends up. Cant remember any details though, and it was fairly cheep. |

Hard to beat for the money and its compact. |

I built this with their free plans... http://www.pro-tools.com/product.aspx?zpid=567 Pain in the ass without the right tools (I used a grinder and drill press) I used mostly all scrap material on hand and have about $340 in it. I would go with one of the $300 models next time. I built that one thinking I could buy a die for cheaper and thought it would be less work, and it will bend 120 degrees instead of 90. I'll post some pics early next week... |

That is a good bender for the money. We used one of those to build a few buggys . You won't be disappointed. |
