Maybe the tubing you are using is the problem? 5/16 is pretty easy to bend, and that Imperial bender should bend 5/16 to 180* with no problem. I've never used "double wall" steel line in an automotive application, and hardware store tubing might not be the same temper as "automotive" tubing. Buy some tubing from a car parts store and try that. Also, if you have to flare the tube, use a double-flare and ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUT THE NUT ON THE TUBE BEFORE YOU FLARE IT! It sucks to make a perfectly bent line only to realize that you forgot to put the nuts on before you flared it!
