Pro tools and JD2 both make good quality manual tube benders. If memory serves you can get into 1 with a set of dies for about $600. Extra die sets are what kill you. They are about $200 a set. Some more, some less. You can spend up to about 8K on a cnc bender if you want! Maybe a little overkill....hahaha

For a very little $ you can turn them into an Air/Hydraulic one. I’ve been looking at dropping the money on one it would be cheaper buying a bender and cheaper than a bed cage. Just dropped the $$$ for a bumper though. http://www.swagoffroad.com/Tubing-Bender-AirHydraulic-Ram-Mount_p_53.html

Nope just cold bends no pre or post heat other than when it went to get powdercoated.
