Re: 3/8 tubing bender ?
Get a better bender.
But I have used the type you described before with success.

Re: 3/8 tubing bender ?

Re: 3/8 tubing bender ?
Here is the tubing bender I used to bend 3/8" line (from Mac Tools) and the line I bent with it.
Works like a charm. I also used the Craftsman Double Flare kit too. Gary

Re: 3/8 tubing bender ?
What about this one? My current tube bender is rather hard to use.
http://www.grainger.com/product/3KE4...KAwArw#reviews I can't seem to find a Mac Tools bender online. |
