| Which Bender To Get? I bought the K&S but haven't really used it yet. You need the little coil spring things to bend tube. I noticed that 3/16 tube with the coil on it doesn't fit in between the pin and wheel, and haven't decided what to do about it yet. |

The coil spring benders are NOT normally used with another bender.....use one or the other.....   |

Solid rod is great for small radius bends since it doesn't kink or flatten out.
