I am looking to get a small roller/bender for 1 in. and under steel strap iron. Found this one on EBay.

Any thoughts?

Looks interesting. I’ve almost got my ducks in a row for a Hossfeld. I don’t live to far from the factory so I’m going to pick it up and save on the shipping.

Dang! Pricey :shock: I bought this with a few extra dies, welded it together myself. Works perfectly and I hooked it to my compressor for easy bending. https://www.roguefab.com/product/tubing ... 600-1-die/

Its not a ring roller, but for a tubing bender, its pretty darn nice.

i bought this one several years ago and added a swag offload hydraulic kit and a HF hydraulic ram.
works good but dies are pricy.

I'm looking at that one too. What's the difference in all of these benders? They look the same (except for cheaper looking Harbor Freight). Is it China vs U.S.?
I would rather bend square tubing than round. For hobby use it's hard to spend 3 grand for a bender; though I'm sure they're well built and designed.

The one I’m going for does much more than pipe and square tube.

Used to have one at a place I worked. It’s the only thing I miss about it.

I've never used it but have seen what it can do... real deal tool.
overkill for a garage guy i would think

If you take care of them they will literally last a lifetime, and then still bring almost new price on the market.
