Doesn't seem to bad? Would 2' tubing be enough for bumpers, cages? I'm looking to get something to learn with, as well as something I can use for all my needs. Will this be enough?

Thanks guys!

Do a search. Especially search for the phrase "tube kinker" or "pipe kinker."

You will find that 2" is too big -- especially when you discover that 2" pipe is a lot bigger than you think -- for cages.

that is not a tubing bender. it is a pipe bender, there is a difference.

my friend has one of those. it will bend all sorts of stuff, but it will mess up tubing.

for $300 you can get a real bender.

I have seen several people on pirate 4x4 use those for tube work. They are definitly not the best thing for tube work, but with practice it could work. Personally I would save up for the real thing

I have one of those and broke it this weekend. First the bottom mounting plate gave up and bent to h**l and then one of the vertical legs broke loose from the bottom plate.
