Default tube bender??

In the market for tube bender. The jd2 model 3 seems to be the best bang for the buck. What you guys think? Thin budget but I'm splitting costs with a friend.

I haven't had any experience with one but my buddy built a complete tube chassis buggy with one. He said for the money it was great. If you have a huge project or many projects you might look into the air over hydraulic conversion.

I've got 2 friends with jd2, and a 3rd has been shopping to no end, and just ordered one. Seems like about the best thing in that price range.
