Default Got my Flaring tool..Which Bender?

Have any of yall used this flaring tool? Best one i've ever owned. Its all hydraulic and i got through napa. Mastercool is the name on the box.

So whats a good bender for 3/16'' ss lines? I searched and found that phill99vette had made his own but the pics are all gone... I wouldnt mind making my own like phil did, just wish the pics were there to be able to go off of his design

NOS sells a good one. It would be easy to duplicate if you had a lathe and some metal. I needed one in a hurry and it was worth buying.

The problem with normal tubing benders is that most cannot make tight bends, like you usually need to when plumbing a fogger.

This is the one I have. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOS-15991NOS/

It works fine for people that are capable of using it. Plumbing a fogger takes some patience and skill. The only reason I could see anyone giving it a bad review is because they were not able to do a nice job themselves, and blame it on the tool. It's such a simple tool that it's like giving a hammer a bad review because you couldn't drive a nail straight.
