I think you're talking about a tubing bender?? It bends tubing without kinking or folding it? Or are they bending solid rods?
A good tubing bender is pretty expensive, but something to bend solid is fairly cheap. Check out mtechsupply.com for all kinds of stuff

It's called a ring roller. http://www.metalcraftcanada.com/
(Many people like to replace the handle with a wheel to get better control.)

Ring Roller
Also check shop outfitters, I believe at www.plasmacam.com. As well as Grizzly tools form bellingham , Washington. I have personally been to their headquarters in Washington and they have alot of great price competitive tools. I may add that tubing benders bend tubing , pipe benders bend pipe there is a difference as you will really distort your tubing if you place it in a pipe bender, pipe benders are also ususally alot lower tech and therefore cheaper.-- the best of them is a hossfeld #2. THey are expensive-- may try lowbuck tools for a cheaper model if you want a tubing bender. I believe what you are descirbing although is the ring roller, it is usually the tool they use for bending smaller diameter rod for areas such as fneder supports etc.,
