The pliers one is a K-D 2189. Many toolcos have sold it over the years. I imagine good for bending as you go under a vehicle affixing brake or fuel lines as you advance, or in tight places. Happen to be in the market for one at the moment as rocks smashed brake lines in 4x4. 😮
I didn't have any tubing, I should have been more clear that on tight bands on any tubing you'll get crinkling unless you have a mandrel Bender with the special rattlesnake inserts
I have the same issue myself then I learned to use a piece of solid wire to prebend as a template and then make the tube match the wire that really helped out a lot as well as the little micro adjuster tool

Awesome review!! Haha haven't been on yt in a day or two I have some catching up to do lol!
Thank you, what is this "YT" you speak of... sounds like some weird video sharing website...
I think it would have been a better demonstration if instead of wire you used tubbing, because some benders leave a wrinkled inside radius on tubbing.

The wire tool looks like a serpentine belt grabber
I hate bending tubing. I have almost never had good luck with it
