Brad,
For those minimal requirements, it seems like you'd be time way ahead
making a simple bender from scratch, if you have some scrap metal handy.
Here's the one I made a few years ago...

Two posts are fixed to the base, in this case a scrap of square tube,
and one is fixed to the arm, here a flat scrap. One hole drilled in the
arm is the pivot point.
Or you could just find something round with a useful radius -- like a
wheel -- and bend the tube over that by hand. Doesn't take much to bend
5/8" x 1/16" material.
