I know a few shops that run them - I think you are limited to 90 or 120 degree bends, but they seem to work well.

Personally, that is the only bender I would have. That is what I learned on, and love it. To give you an idea of who uses them, Jason Paulie at Twisted Customs uses one to build all those chassis. The money isn't bad either for what you get. I also liked how you could store it almost anywhere if you don't have the stand. It is really compact.

As stated above though, you can't bend much over 90º. That is fine with me though. I don't find myself bending more than that very often. You can just feed it through if you need to though.

Just my opinion, but it is worth the money and easy to use.

I recently bought this exact bender (the package deal they are advertising on their site). Went through sports dicounters and got a GREAT deal on my setup (included 6", 7", 8" CLR 2" tubing dies).
I freaking stoked...especially since i just rolled my junk

Now I can build the cage I've been wanting.

I searched alot, this is the best bender for the money

I have this bender also. I am very happy with it. Pro-Tools quality is top notch.
Even tho your are restricted on 100 degree bend you can work around with technique.

Good luck

Which pump does the package come with, the one that is shown in the picture, or the cheap one they offer the is not rebuildable.
