Mike,
Get a battery backup for the computer. The ones that I use will give you about 25 minutes when the power goes off. Plenty of time to save whatever you are doing and it has saved me a lot of grief several times on both computers.
I think you are referring to a Mandrell ( Yes Kristen, I know, spelling ), bender. That is what they used to bend my 3" diameter roll bar with. Makes a perfect bend with no crinkle at all in the underside.
