    I've had one for years but it works just as well for bending steel fuel and brake lines
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    That looks somewhat easier to get accurate bends than the one i have that doesn't have the calibrations marked thereon.

    Horrible things to use, I much prefer the Swagelok benders with wheels rather than a fixed shoe. I have every size from 1/4 tight rad to 1/2 and some metric ones, 1/2 s/s is a real workout even with the wheels.

    The miniature version of the tool shown in the OP...

    https://www.harborfreight.com/1-8-ei...der-94571.html

    will handle tubing down to 1/8" diameter. Works well for plumbing miniature steam engines.
