I have bender for larger tube but want something for steel tube around 8mm to 15mm for oil line,power steering line etc to make a tight bend just wondering what you use thanks

I doubt very much you can make a tight bend in tube that size, it usually collapses unless you pack it with sand and plug the ends.

Cerrobend is a lot healthier for any fluid-conducting tubes than sand.....

Swageloc benders with the wiper die are good for a reasonably tight rad on steel hydraulic pipe, obviously not going to get a rad as tight as a mandrel bender.
