I've got new for you, HD has been doing this for years now. Ace
Hardware, True Value also rents them. Not
to mention the local rental shop will also have one for about the same
price. The trick to the rental
is to have all the stuff you want to bend ready so you don't end up
renting the tool once a week
or month to keep the cost down.

They claim to be able to bend .032 alum but I'm a bit doubtful it will
do a 10 foot bend of .032 2024-T3 without distortion. A lot of
airplanes use .040 for their bent spars and I'm even more doubtful of that..

Has anybody done a nice straight 10 foot long channel spar of .032 2024
using one of those gutter brakes?
