that bender seems fairly expensive, although I might try it if I can't find a swagelock on ebay. HF has the worst search function, I have looked through their tubing benders a couple of times, and that one never came up.
As far as torches go, lots of people report success with MAPP, but I think it's a waste of money. I tend to use a lot of heat, so MAPP drives me nuts. I think beginners tend to concentrate the heat in one place, so MAPP actually works better than O/A.
