Are you trying to bend pipe or tube?
Because all the cheapo ones are pipe benders.
Pipe is measured ID tube is measured OD.
If it is tube you want to bend then you need to cough up some $$$.
Im no expert I have a cheapo pipe bender that I have used to make my tray, front and rear bars, sliders etc (all made from pipe) and apart from being bloody hard work its brilliant.
