I need to make some small parts that are made out of stamped steel sheet metal, approximately 20 gauge steel. These small parts have slight bends in them. Part sizes can range from about 2" x .5" or so.

I was thinking of using something like one of these metal benders

or

These are small parts and I have no experience with either of these tools. First question is would either of these actually work to put precise bends in small, flat metal parts? If so, which would work best, or is there another alternative? I could probably make the parts using a benchtop milling machine, but I don't have one of those....yet. And, these tools are a lot less expensive. Any suggestions?
