Is it really so? I have bended both with a manual bender, and it definitely felt like the moly needed at least the double force to bend.

I bent a test 90% 120 wall dom mild steel last nite, thought I was going to have a hernia. Bent some CM later and much easier to bend, both 1 5/8. I think I'm going to invest in the hyd add on to my bender, I ain't getting any younger.
