Roger, I am not familiar with that type of pipe bender. but I can tell you that the bending shoes must fit exact or you will kink the pipe. I have made lots of roll bars with a hydraulic bender and with a little practice you can to. Just make sure that the bending shoes are a perfect fit for your tubing. Use .120 wall DOM tubing for all your bars 1.75 min.
Cranky ( professional pipe bender)

BTW the bender that Dan reccomended looks pretty good for a home unit.
