Best tubing bender to buy

Looking to buy a high end tubing bender that will do steel lines from 3/16" to 3/8". Any suggestions on brand and model? Jim

Re: Best tubing bender to buy

stay away from the one size fits all benders if you want nice tight bends
many manufactures make the good dedicated line size benders, rigid makes a decent bender
you'll want one if you plan on running your own brake lines to get close to the fittings
ebay is full of used benders
