I've been looking at tubing benders and I see what I need to bend frame main tubes, but what are y'all using to bend smaller stuff like seat and chain stays?
 
I use a jd2 bender and they have dies down to 1/2''. Kinda pricy though.

I've been using 1" for my seat and chain stays. However, I did come across a 1/2" conduit bender at a flea market for something like $5, and that's been awesome, when needed. I now have those hand benders in 1/2", 1", and 1 1/4".
