What do y'all use?  I have several, none of which are ideal; I have one =
of these:

https://www.harborfreight.com/tube-bending-pliers-95782.html

Which should work well, but has sharp edges which nick the line, which =
of course is not a good thing (I know, HARBOR FREIGHT 'quality').  I =
also have several of the articulating/anvil kind, which works OK but =
it's nigh impossible to get a really tight bend:

Anybody got one of these:

The lines to the rear slave cylinders, in particular, have a small--1" =
or less--radius and I'd like to do them right.

Bob
