Weather the Harbor Freight or a top of the line bender there all the same. I can bend any type of pipe or tubing but the radius is large on tubing. For tighter bends you need a mandrel bender. Same principal as an exhaust bender you see at the muffler shops but they will bend smaller diameter tubing and operate either electric, hydraulic or Pneumatic. I want to say JD had posted a link some time back for a company who produced an affordable one and if I remember correctly the total manual system was around 1700.00 up to around 3400.00 for the Cadillac model.
