[Healeys] Brake Line Benders

[Bruce Steele]

I have an articulating bender, similar to the second HF link, which I’ve used for fuel lines with good success.

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

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.
