    I tried the sand packed in the tube thing and still had a flattened roll, not kinked but a little flat. The bender you have is for pipe that is softer not tubing. Not to mention all the time and mess involved. So I ended up buying a bender from the link provided, and 1st picture. I bought the bench model and stood it up on end and fabbed a frame for it like the #2 picture, and I use my engine crane bottle jack for the power source.

    You can buy the one in the 2nd picture but the Die is aluminum and has no warranty. If you break it on the 1st bend its a few hundred bucks for another aluminum die. The one I got has a steel die with a lifetime warranty at least back when I bought it it did. Plus it has a dial indicator to tell what degree your bend is at. I Highly reccomend this bender.
