What tube bender did you use?

Any recommendations for a tubing bender for 3/8-inch fuel lines? Are there any models you'd definitely avoid? Thanks!
 
TS Flightlines

I used TS Flightlines for fuel lines. Fit perfect.

I did bend the smaller vent lines. Combination of the bender show in previous post a one of those spring type benders.
 
For quick and easy prototyping, I still use the Imperial 364 series benders. Yeah, 'slightly' modified but works well. Our original tubes for the RV7 and RV14 fuel lines were done with these to make the prototypes, then we transitioned them to our 3 axis CNC benders for production.

For most builders the 470 triple head bender is good----bending thicker wall stainless is not recommended.
