Looks to be a good buy. I did see that the dies are alum. Anyone got one? How's it workin?

Never used on, but those have a max bend of 90*. As long as you can move the tube around to work witha vertical style bender, I've seen people build plenty with them.

For *most* people - you'll never bend anything more than a 90...

I've not used that exact model, but I've used similar designs before. They work fine. They're not as fast as the other benders, but they're also half the price *shrug*

The thing that would keep me away from it is they say it is only good for .095" wall DOM. Most of the things I would imagine we would use it for would be .120" wall DOM.
