My $02..
+ Cheap.
- Will cause the bends to be "caved in. [out of round].
- No protractor to do accurate bending w/o constant bend/remove/check.
- Slo movement due to low volume of jack pump.
I'm spoiled.... I use the JD Squared hyd bender..NOT $300, but will last a lifetime..

I've had one for 4 years and bent dozens of cages with it without a single issue.

allstar bender
a piece of junk,, several venders out there using this die set and several others also,, dies crack, and not even close to the radius they advertise,, the 5" they claim is actually closer to 6 1/2,, the 7" is actually 8 1/2" a HUGE difference,, and to make a real 90 degree bend you have to walk the tube because it WILL kink the tube at the end of the die,, they are tooo short. a real die for 90 degrees must be 110 because of springback..
dont ask how i know !!!
also the benders by Afordable, Speedway, Ultra,, all use this type of die,, total junk !!
a good low cost bender JMR new Raceline,, works great, and low cost !!! what i ended up with after lots of research.
