    Take a piece of tubing and experiment with it. Not being sarcastic....it's what I do when I haven't used mine for awhile. Helps me get the 'hang of it' when I want the bend in a certain place relative to another bend or the end fitting.

    yup, that extra piece of line that you experiment with will be the best $5 you ever spent.

    To expand on post #3. I have samples I keep with a permanent reference mark that will line up with the handle. These samples are 90, 60, 45, 30, 22 1/2, and 15 degrees. Just place the sample on line to be bent then mark it.
