If you are beinding copper then any budget one will do....silver line do a not bad one. That said copper is so easy to bend that other than sharp bends it can be fashioned by hand really. If you are bending steel or cunifer ones you will need a proper professional one. See if you can borrow one maybe?

Hi John,

I've got two types; one for tight bends and the other for wider bends, both really useful. I'm in Surbiton and you are more than welcome to borrow them.

Cheers.

Just done all mine in kunifer.... if you have a variety of sockets to bend it round, no need to spend money on tools in my opinion
