I thought the kinker was the orange one they have with the jack in it?

Yeah, that one's the hydraulic fancy one; the one linked is the cheap manual one =))

I s'pose it bends flat stock ... I have one like it, but you can't bend more than, say, ~1/2" pipe with it, and even then you gotta do it in bits, like 10-20* at a time/

I got one of those for free...Hmmm. If you want to make brackets outta flat stock, it works. So does a vice. It is useless for tubing of any sort.
Save your money and get a real bender and youll beable to do more than grab handles. Its not worth the footprint in your garage.

that's the info I was looking for.

It's meant for small solid stock...mostly ornamental work.
