Good tools aren't cheap and cheap tools aren't good
This bender is high quality and while it is more expensive than the cheap ones, once you compare them you will see why. This is a professional version and the details will make your tube bending easier and more precise.

nice bender for 3\16 line very solid
Nice specialized tool for just one line size good solid sliding shoe anvil nice grips goes over to like 120 degrees idk but the grips are offset for that. My problems run deeper than this very nice tool like its hard to bend a tight turn right up against then fitting if you use preflared lines so you gotta route a little differently and then how exactly do you route you can use up a lot of preflared line trying to get it right. I wish there was a way of measuring the angle between two bends so, like the twist between two 90s in different planes. Dihedral. Anyway súper bender.

This is the best one you can get
It is smooth and accurate also easy to use. I have been using it to make new Stainless brake lines on me car. I was hesitant to spend the extra money on the tool but much like other quality tools you get what you pay for. I will have this for the rest of my life.

Quality Tool
Retired steamfitter of 45 year with lots of experience with benders and familiar with many brands and styles. Got this 3/16 one to re-do the brake lines on my 07 GMC Sierra. Many benders claim they do 3/16 but they use the same groove for 3/16 and 1/4" I already have several of those but when you bend 3/16" on the 1/4" groove, it tends to flatten it a bit. This Ridgid 36117 403 is a dedicated 3/16 bender and does it exceptionally well.
