Im very interested in the pipe benders shown,the ones with the red tips on the handles. Can you supply a link where I can get one? Im looking for a reliable way to bend copper tubing that is fairly small in OD.
This is my first post on this forum, I hope it's OK to ask on posting an outside URL.

Unfortunately there is no pic?

I didn't add a picture. That was your picture that got lost in the quote.
Here are the ones I use.

I have them in two sizes. Used them for bending brass fuel line on RC stuff.
They work OK but they're not foolproof, can still kink. Best to anneal the
brass first.
