Default I know I know, but what do you think about this bender?

I need very small bends, 15 degree to be exact and if I was able to bend them my self it's a big difference in price (how much I would save)... so what do you guys thing? Will this http://www.speedwaymotors.com/...t.htm be ok to use to bend a pipe only 15 degrees?

This is for exhaust piping.

1. It won't work for exhaust tubing.

2. It's a piece of junk.

3. It isn't worth buying.

1) Buy a 90° bend. ~$15.

2) Cut it into 6 equal arcs.

3) Weld your new 15° bends onto straight sections.

Doesn't get any cheaper than that.
