They are good if you are bending poop pipe, but for dom, or hrew they will kink and flatten out at the bend. I had one for about a month then sold it. Now I have a pro-tools. Well worth saving the money and getting a good bender, then dealing with the agrivation of some half assed bender.

yes that bender sucks for bending tube...unless you modify it some.
if you machine the dies to fit the tube it can make some decent bends. this is 1.5" tube being bent w/ a 1" pipe die. this works great for thicker tube, still kindof shitty for thinner wall. this is .25 tube.

They're making their $ in shipping, don't be fooled by the low prices. The first auction you link to wants $99 shipping and the second $85 shipping. In the end it winds up being the same price as HF. HF provides $9.99 shipping in the states, but I don't know about PR
three similar models: for $180: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=35336 For $75: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=32888 for $125: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=38024 but yeah, not good for tube
