Bending coins/ objects

Is the OX coin bender the best out ? I have never done things like this kind of magic. I know there are some benders that require you to use certain spoons or things like that. Is there one that you can bend pretty much anything whether it's a coin or anything that seems impossible to grand or are you all provided with gimmicks to bend. I don't even know how it works but I was reading the Penguin 🐧 Catalog from April and also in March if you have those check them out they talk about two different kinds of bending I don't know the two different kinds they are talking about but I guess some you can have them signed , some say you can't or have it marked? Not sure what that means. Talks also about requires pocket space and to me I just don't see how magical it is as a street magician I guess it is something people do like levitation but to me it's one of those things that people always are skeptical about like oh he did that before versus a really cool card trick gimmick or ink effect that blows people's minds.

Again this is new to me, I appreciate feedback and maybe I'm just more skeptical as I am a magician but my dad is one of those people that would say it was bent before or something easy to predict but he's prob not right. I know you can't give secrets away but is it an effect that you have to have a device of some sort in your hand does it require a billet switch kind of thing and are you always palming this device?

I greatly appreciate the support
Thanks!

Suggestion - since you're new to coin bending, how about heading out to the garage, grab some pliers and bend a few coins for starters.
Then, regardless of what your dad says, take these pre-bent coins and with a little bit of magical gibberish, combined with a quick sleight or misdirection, 'ring' in your bent coin for the original and you've got a coin bending effect.
Then, if you like the reactions, you can purchase the "Ox" or a 'Quantum Bender' or whatever the coin bending product flavor of the month is.
Yes, you have a utility in your hand (the coin doesn't bend itself)
Yes, you have to remove it from play.

Hah I didn't mean to literal like that hard for me to be as direct on text being on the spectrum I meant I am new to these devices and have used them at the conventions but never had one and didn't know what made it so magical just bending something. Is it great reactions like card magic ? Or is it not as strong? For the OX bender what else can you bend besides coins? Thank you for your response @juststuff
