When you use the words tube, you exclude yourself from the HF pipe bender.

Water pipe, Yes, does fine, a tubing bender is a different animal though.

Best I have seen or heard of is the stuff from Williams Low Buck tools. Plug that into google and it will bring him up. He also has a very easy to read explanation of why, and what is the difference. His stuff is top notch. I want the tubing notcher in the worst way, just do not want to spend the money.

Anyway, I have the bender from "lockdown securities" who have changed names dozens of times (it seems) I forget what they are called now, and actually, I think I bought it before they were lockdown securities. I have the square tubing 1" die for mine and it works well, but gives you a suck bend.

My dad has one made in Ocala Fl, I cannot remember the name, but it is a dude, and bends tubing really well. I can run down the name if needed.

A Hossfield is the real deal, just bring money.
