Description

An up-coming project will require bending steel tubing ... 🤘
So I'm considering getting a Hydraulic Tube Bender:

Yes, this might feel like an "_expensive_" tool for a _single_ project. 🙄
But the effect of bending the tube will be awesome on the project which is not small.
and paying a "serralheiro" (metal shop) to do it will be more than the cost of the tool.
There are _many_ uses for it in future projects.

The "Hydraulic" means that the machine does _most_ of the work for us.
I've used a _non_-hydraulic one before in `DT` in high school and it was _effort_!
So having one for other metalwork projects will be cool.
