Tex, I have a bender. Chuck Norris would bend it with his hands, I am slightly less bad ***.

A cheap alternative is a conduit bender if your tube is a similar size.

Haulin' some wood...can't do this with a little rack!

Sorry Tex, I thought I stated that initially, it's 1/2" and 3/4" EMT conduit pipe.
