Define cheap? there are good options that aren't bad price wise like the JD2 Model 3 or the pro-tools 105. I use the JD2, it works really nice, but I was into it about $600 with one die, and now alot more with hydraulics.

If you shop at Harbo freight you will see their pipe bender, don't bother it kinked the hell out of the tube when we tried it out.

JD2 Model 3 285 is not bad with acessories about 695 bucks nice thanks

He is trying to say that the ones from Harbor Freight are usually set up for pipe sizes and not tube sizes. Pipe is measured on the ID (inside) and tube is measured from the OD (outside).

There are many, many, many posts here covering this issue.

I'm suprised HF hasn't started selling a cheap knockoff tube bender yet. I have a Pro-Tools 105. I got the best price (last year) from here...
