3/8" tubing bender?

[Samckitt]

What do you use to get a good clean bend in 3/8" steel line?

I just bought some ridgid benders. I love them.

Ridgid from Home Depot?

[parsonsj]

Yup, same brand. But Home Depot doesn't carry these benders. Google "Ridgid Tubing Bender" for dealers.

how do you get those coiling bends on brake lines? (I've seen them loop 6 times down!) does that take a high level of skill or the right tool with moderate skill?

[NOT A TA]

I use a pole the correct diameter to wrap the brake line tubing and make the coils then cut and flare at correct lengths. No skill needed !

I bought a Rigid bender off of ebay last week. Got it today. Holy cow does it work good.

Professional Plumber's do it with "Ridgid Tools"

Trick tools makes a nice bender with a stand. It also rolls the bending die around the bend instead of sliding like the ridgid. I have a couple rigids myself, also.

I bought one from a Cornwell tool dealer....Works like a champ and was only $25
