I want a cheap way (other than buying a jd2 die) of bending round solid and mabe .25 wall 1 " tube/rod

don't wanna use a torch as I need to bend lots of these and need them to all be the same as each other??

what are some tricks?

Harbor freight has a bender for solid round, square, and flat stock for about $100

I prolly wouldn't have to worry about "kinking" with that sive material right?

I didn't see the part about tube, I was talking rod only, I would use a regular old pipe bender or a heavy conduit bender for 1" tube.
