I went to three different shops to complete the last install for a set of tires. All had very high end equipment boasting about their installs of Lamborghini, Mercedes, Ferrari, etc. I'm sure they bend those wheels just the same to have people drive off not knowing their wheels are bent. I don't think it's the equipment, but rather who you get doing the work. Part of the problem was also that I was installing very stiff sidewall tires the last time around on 17 inch wheels. They bent those wheels like they were working with clay one after the next. My wheels were coming new out of the box.
