This is for flat or round stock, not tubing. Watcha building?

I am playing with a cheapo 1" tubing bender from harbor freight at the moment, here's a link if you want to check that out:

Let me assure you, it is gonna take a LOT more leverage than these little guys offer to bend anything over 1" .120 wall tubing. But, for front clips, racks, etc.. they should work fine. I bought mine to build a cage for a go-cart as practice for a front tube clip.
