We've got one coming down the road. A word of advice: stay away from the Harbor Freight benders. I had one a while back and it's, well, not good. First of all, they generally sell "pipe benders" which are useless for tubing. (The difference between "pipe" and "tubing" is that pipe is measured inner diameter and tubing outer.) They're also really inaccurate (at best) and sometimes even non-functional. We'll have more on this in a few weeks. You’re correct. We’ve got one coming down the road.

Is this purely hypothetical or is there another story in the piepline? I've been eyeing the harbor freight specials... Tubing Bender?
