I do have a contractor buddy (in fact, hes the guy I gave the bronco to, in return for some work) I could bug, he will be around the house sooner or later
that might be the best way to go
buying the prebend ones would probably put me halfway to the cost of the bender, so I don't like that idea either
just one more thing to trip over
if i thought id ever need it again, i probably would (no, i wouldnt, im cheap, and the tool is more then the materials involved)
