well apparently they don't work very well on thin tube as it just buckles and are only any good on cage stuff. But I've never given it a
go as I just buy bends.

i thought it was cheap benders that dont work well, the ones that just push a former into the side of a tube. Proper ones pull it round a former and
work very well.

I did a linky for a very cheap bender a while ago, if you don't have a wood lathe - bolt the wood onto the rear axle an run the engine for a
locost lathe
