    Tube benders.

    Two tube benders, one has a reversible wheel for a smaller diameter tube.

    Looks like it works well. Could the bearings be smaller and movable to create a tighter bend if using say 1/8" or 3/16" tubing? I have some craft applications that need smaller tubing like that bent without getting crushed.

    This bender is made by Dubro ,I used it to bend 5/32"A/C tube to replace plastic vacuum lines on
    a Ford F150.It's a simple design, makes a 3/8 inside bend on copper or annealed brass.It looks
    flimsy [plastic] sleeves, but bends tubing easily. "Hobby Zone" carries it.
