🔧 ABN Brass Brake Line Forming Bending Pliers Set - 3/16in and 1/4in Sizes Review

Does what it says on the tin. Anyone saying screw it up or leave no trace on the line; This puts pressure on one area and moves it to another by flexing. This is not a manual bender. Depending on the angle and the bend you will see some marks. I would buy this again. Very good for tight spaces.

You will make sharp bends in the brake pipe, but practice first, it takes time to get used to it. I smoothed the edges with a round jewelers file and #400 wet/dry sandpaper. You can still see where the tool enters the line, but you can do this on a car or truck to adjust or fix the bend.

As always, take your time. Part 3/16 of the jaws is loose so it doesn't pinch the pipe. Works well enough for tight radius turns. it takes a little practice. Like any pipe bender, you can be an idiot and crimp pipes, so don't ask a tool to do something it can't do. It will make smaller bends than a radius tube bender if you are careful.

Is it the ideal tool for precise and trouble-free bending of brake lines? NO. Did he bend the mild steel brake lines on a car in an extremely tight spot without completely destroying the line? ABSOLUTELY! It has a nice long handle, comfortable grips, and gets the job done. If you need to bend or adjust the lines in a tight spot, especially when you're in a car, this is for you.

This is normal. They come in handy when you need to make a bend in a tight spot, but quality control on them takes work. When I received them I noticed that the jaws were misaligned and had sharp edges. After I brought them the file, they work much better. It also requires a bit of technique, so I suggest practicing cutting lines before you start drawing curves on the line you've been sculpting for an hour.
