Here are the tube bending pliers I mentioned in another thread. I picked mine up at a swapmeet in Indy a month ago. So far, I've only used the 3/16 one, but they work exeptionally well for making tight bends, even right up to the fitting. Around $28 seems to be the going price at the swaps.

Good to know,
I recently picked up a very similar pair, 1/4" I think, tried them on a scrap tube and was not impressed, it flattened somewhat on the back side of the bend. I'll try again before deciding for sure. They are not name brand but good quality none the less.
And I'll look for the Lisle version too, can't have enough tube bending tools smile

Thanks for the post Bill, I have been looking for these and found some at Eastwood for major $$. A fellow bolter offered his and I will take him up on it. Like Grigg said, can't have too many around though.
