any use a Harbor Freight Compact Bender-Hossfeld knockoff ?

I also have the harbor freight bender. I didn't want to bolt mine to the floor, so I ended up bolting it to a beefed up pallet. That seemed to work fine.

As with any tool, there is a little bit of a learning curve. Depending on if you are doing double bends, you just have to figure out where to start your bend so you can keep to your desired dimensions.

I think I bent 1-1/2"x3/16 or 1/4" around a 2" die and it seemed to work great. I was surprised at how easily it bent that.... Beyond that, I haven't had much use for it, but it could be handy for future projects....
