Anyone using electric plank bender?

I never used an electric plank bender. I have always worked without one.I use warm water and clamps with some cylinders of various diameters. I dont know if this tool makes planking really easier. And if it is really a helpfull tool, again I woud not know which one to buy? I have found three: amati, artesania latina and modelcraft. Has someone allready used this tools? What is the experience made? Appreciate any help. Christos
