    I have one of the china units simular to that.Ive never used it in about 15 years, I gave $200 for it with a bad seal/oring.I put a different (rong size ) ring in it just to see) it still leaks a tad but not much.the seal was dammaged when the factory welded the dam cylinder to the attachment...you cant fix stupid. Ive been meaning to make a attachment and bronze die/mandrel to go inside stainless exhaust tubing so i can bend that...but Im getten old and probably never will. my brother built a manual bender 40 years ago and we built oh so many racecars and street cars..I miss those days. it's nice to have a shop full of stuff/machines...but sucks I never use much of any of it any more. it's a dyeing art.( like working is to most these days.or even showing up to work.somany useless people wondering around and getting poaid way to much for nothing.)
