Thinking about buying the tools and trying my hand at some tube bending.  I really like the look of stainless line. Was curious what the guys that have experience w/ this use as far as brand of benders of flaring tools.  And possibly post links to it.  I know I need/want a bender that will bend 1/2" stainless, and I need a flaring tool.....is there something else I am missing that I will need?? (besides practice and patience)

I learned on and use this flaring tool: http://www.newmantools.com/imperial/ft5.html and I also use a Rigid lever-type  Hydroholics sells the proper hardline fitting sleeves/nuts and we also sell/ship stainless in 5ft sections.

yeah i like the swagelok benders and the parker and d-lok (copy of swagelok) fittings arent too expensive. 1/2 swagelok benders are expensive though. at work we just priced a 3/4" swagelok hand bender, which was $900
