I stopped at Harbor Freight on my way home and looked at their "compact bender" which looks very similar to the Ebay one and has the correct measurement for the Ebay dies. I sent the guy a message asking what the difference between his bender and the HF bender is--I'll see what he says.

Either way, I'll probably end up buying his dies and maybe his bender. 1-1/4 should be big enough for 99% of what I want to do. Having the bender for bar stock, etc will also be nice. And, I figure I can make additional dies after getting the measurements off the first set since my dad has a lathe and wants to teach me to run it.
