Default Wire Bender

Hmmm, just might have to get one of these. It says it works on mild steel up to 3/16". Kinda cool....

To this point, I've never bent rod, but this tool works great with 0.25, 0.19, & 0.125 diameter tubes:

That's a good one as well. I was thinking the one I posted would do well for small radius bends and scale parts.

Nope, but I'd sure like to. I'm just a little skeptical when I see a tool of that caliber selling for such a low price.

Thats what I hate about the hand-held brakeline benders, they will only create one diameter radius. Looks like this one will do 4 sizes.

75 bucks ain't really too steep an entry fee, but it would suck if it did'nt work good though...
