eastwood should be okay ,if you are using stainlees steel lines make sure it can handle the exta force needed to bend the lines especially 3/8 line ,i have bent plenty of 1/2 stainlees steel line for a project ,the bender had 18 in. handle on a 1-1/2 mandreland gives a good work out

The Eastwood benders work very well and our worth the money. I own them and have used them a lot.

Rigid tools makes a very good set. I have had the same sets for 25 years as a tube fitter for industrial plants. They will bend any type of tube you desire even up to .83 wall thickness with no problems. If you need a bit more leverage just weld extension pipe to handles and it will be fine.


Good Luck!!!

damn, took me a while to figure that out, but have come to the conclusion he must work for the IRS help line. ask a simple question, get ten minutes worth of gobbledygook that does not only not answer the question, but confuses the hell out of you in the process!!!

looks like an attempt at free advertising, I think we need the bad ethic police to step in.Try a local hydraulics supplier, one that carries Parker or other industrial benders. if you do a lot of stainless it has to be a good one, not a basic automotive bender. Check out the benders at McMaster-Carr. They have a good selection.
