Review on 🔧 4LifetimeLines 25' 3/16 True Copper-Nickel Alloy Non-Magnetic Brake Line Replacement Tubing Coil and Fitting Kit: Ultimate Solution with Inverted Flare by James Parker

Oh how many homemade brake jobs ended up being so bad and messy and ended up messy to say the least because they didn't use a tool or the right tool around that brake line manipulating to the right inputs and outputs 90 degrees and 45 degrees and different configurations all the while keeping your faithful belief that no kinks will happen and everything is almost factory made. Good luck with it . Well, this new copper-based brake line is a real boon to those mechanics and DIYers who dread that bleak day when someone says brake work needs doing and just can't wait. Well I bought this type of brake hose to test specifically for myself and also bought a new high quality 3/16 gauge handbrake bender that was designed for my system. I have now laid out the old brake line as a template to follow the contours while shaping the new brake line to match the configuration of the old line. It took me a while to get used to the new handbrake tool for the first time, after working with some 2ft sacrificial parts as practice would suggest, I soon transitioned to semi-professional status, it really is that simple, bending this material with a bender even at 90 degrees and 45 degrees, although the bender bites into the stiff tube a little, I believe the wall integrity is still strong enough to withstand very, very high brake line pressures. For all brake lines you should always double flare the ends PLEASE don't use compression fittings as many have tried oh it seems to work for a while when emergency braking is not required but you are familiar with murphy's law and the at the right moment or at the worst possible moment, Murphy's Law strikes with vengeance and your ferrule slips off with tremendous force, along with all that precious life-saving brake fluid. Yes, if you squeeze the tip on the copper tubing sufficiently, yes it can withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure, but that's the copper you're talking about, it's a no no for brake systems and for steel or copper tubing for the brake itself if you can tighten the tip tightly on a steel pipe, there's no way you can squeeze that tip hard enough to compress that pipe enough to withstand that kind of pressure without buckling on an unlucky day or night solve. You'll lose your system fluid in this line, so for more history just stick with steel or copper/nickel lines and make sure to flare your ends twice. Well this copper nickel brake line in question is really damn easy to work with and it's about time I even try bending this thing bare handed and still get acceptable bends at 45 and 90 with no noticeable kinks, to write home about, it really is time to experiment with this, to try your hand at this copper-nickel material. Yes, that's a winner for me, thanks.
