Default Cheep tools the bane of mechanics

Hi Bob

Think I have at least 5 tubing benders, none of them are really good for all applications, in particular when you have to bends close together. I've looked Eastwood's but have not ordered one so let me know which one you get and how you like it.

With a few very notable exceptions most of the discount auto parts tools are not as good as older tools. When I'm visiting auto flee markets I always have my eyes out for older tools in good condition particularly the old Craftsman and Snap-on tools every now and then I find some real good buys on tools which have hardly been used or well cared for.

Cheers Phil
