Tube bender

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this tube bender. I can't really see spending more on one that I'm not going to use very often.

Search pirate there was a post on an e-bay one that the maker got on and was answering questions. Was a good price and came with die of your choice. I looked for you but I'll let you search if your interested.

That is not a tube bender- its just a bender for flat stock and such. I own one. I made dies for 7/8", and it was a mother getting that stuff to do what I wanted. I wouldn't recommend.
