Depends on what your bending (Nicop, Stainless, etc.) I have a bunch but honestly they are nothing more than something from Home Depot or maybe a Lisle tools. What I learned about bending tubing is good measuring, patience, and buying it in a roll which means you need a way to straiten it out. You can probably get away with murder on this tool however flaring is a different story. The one I got from Eastwood with the dies is a bad mother.....
