    rent a pipe/tube bender?

    I wanna rent a pipe/tube bender from someone. I am only building one boat from the ground up here this season, so I really don't need to buy one.

    I'll pay for S/H both way, and rental. Or are these so cheap that I should just buy one?

    I mean if it's 10-20$ i'll buy one...but you know

    This is the one I have.
    Will this one do? It's cheap, but very good.

      This one will do bigger ones, but I don't think you'll need it this big.

          Chris you're forgetting 1 important detail, what size pipe/tubing do you wish to bend. last stuffing tube I bent(1/4" brass) I used a 7.5" dia cooking pot to form the curve(bent w/ liner & flex to prevent collapsing).
