Do some sample bends to learn where the pipe doesn't bend. I'll try to take a picture how to line up the tool to make a perfect match. Since the radius will be different..

I can't tell if that has 3/16 size but some of the bends are tighter radius than possible with the tubing bender.

I just picked up some flare crow foot sockets ironically SAE since I need 11mm and 16mm and the metric size had neither.

I don't think I've ever seen the first bending tool at Harbor Freight before.
Definitely will keep my eye out when I'm there again.

Thank you andrewwynn very informative on getting the lines bent correctly.
100% agree with you on the Copper Nickel line, far superior to steel.
