Haven't had time to use it yet, but I was very particular about the quality of tool I was looking for! It had to be useable more than one time, without breaking and at a very reasonable price too! Why would I want to pay a high price on a tool I'll use maybe once and more than likely, never sell it and carry it to my grave! So far this bender has past my inspections! I'm not bending anything but soft copper, like recommended, so it'll do just fine! I was taught if I use all my tools as intended, I'll have them for a very long time! What good is a hammer with no handle? Not worth a damn!
