pipe bender tube bender

Hi guys what is the difference between a tube bender and a pipe bender except for the obvious will one only do one or will one do both

A pipe bender (looks like a bow n arrow) will only bend thick wall soft gas and water pipe and CHS,

A tube bender (works like a copper tube bender/pull around with a guide supporting the outside of the tube)
will do thick and thinwall pipe/tube including the more exotic stuff like stainless/CDS/chrome-moly.

OK so a tube bender is the better one for all applications cool
Thanks for clearing that up for me mate

Yeah but unfortunately it reflects in the purchase price and tooling.

I kinda guessed that might be the case
