Bending Iron

Hi all. Would a commercial violin making by Ibex be sufficient for bending ribs on an oud? I see everyone making their own on here, so a little confused.

It should work just fine. I've seen them, or similar ones, being used for violin and guitar work. I made my own because I'm basically a cheap guy, and had the pieces laying around.
