Great little tools.

Steve,

Where'd you get that additional lever shown across the tube bender in
this photo?

I've never seen one of those -- it sure would have come in handy lots
of times.  Wish I'd thought of making something like it.

Thanks, Gary.

Just one LITTLE problem: The only manual one that looks like it might
work as well as Steve's is priced at $782.37. :-(

I suspect I'll keep using (very rarely) the several half-decent ones I
have. Unless I stumble across an exceptional one for so CHEEP I can't
live without it. :-)

Holy bends batman. I was given one that looks like the "complete tube bender kit" (mine is by Parker). I'll have to put it in a better box, with a lock.

If that
90° Multisize Triple-Head Bender (2492A21) is an offshore unity, I wouldn't
recommend buying it. I've snapped two of them now. the handles are pot
metal.
Just keep watching the pawn shops. The further east you go , the better
they get. I'm a junky for those places. Unfortunately, the ones in Tucson
and the town where I live have nothing but junk tools in them.
