These pliers create nice radiused bends but may mar the finish on coated tubing. Prepare to buy multiple lengths of tubing as there is a steep learning curve to doing this work. Be patient, and if you plan on doing custom lines be prepared to buy multiple lengths of tubing if you want it car show perfect. DO NOT under any circumstance use the universal flaring tools with the multiple size clamp if you plan on cutting to length, especially on stainless pipe, they're garbage irregardless.

They are pricy for a pair of pliers, but they are very well made, very handy for tweaking new brake lines to get a good final fit without kinking the tube, being expensive I looked around thinking I could find them for less, I couldn't, I did find them through Lordco, they would have to order them in, their price $180, more than 3X times the price.

Lisle is one of my favorite tool companies. Generally reliable tools. Thank you.

These come in very handy for making fine adjustments while putting a brake line in place on the vehicle. At first, I thought I could get away with just buying these and using them by themselves, but an inexpensive bender will give you more professional looking results. These will still work by themselves if you're on a budget, though. They leave little marks when you bend with them, but if aesthetics aren't important to you, then that won't be a big deal. I also use these to hold a brake tube still while using a cutter, keeping the tube from spinning in my hand. If you use the tool for what it's good at, it will serve you well. As is typical of Lisle products, it's well made and durable, and you'll be able to hand it down to your kids someday provided you don't abuse it.

Lilse always does a good job. I changed master cylinder mounting location on a motorcycle enough that brake line needed re-routed on that end only. I was able to get it done without removing brakeline from bike.

High quality, and they do a very good tight radius bend. They only do 3/16 tube.

Product easy to use and makes nice right bends. Only drawback is squeezing the handles can hurt your hands some if you dont do this sort of work often. I wouldnt want to have to use it all day! But works well for what I needed.

Tubing bender works just fine. Very handy making adjustments to the tubing runs on my car. I replaced three out of four lines and these became very useful in tweaking the lines (especially in confined areas) to make everything line up how I wanted. Just takes a little practice and patience at first to get the feel of making the bends so they looked and functioned great. After that they were easy to use and became one of my most used tools in replacing brake line. They are well made and a great solid pliers for making slow or sharp bends.

These line shaping pliers are excellent. They allow you make sharper line bends without distortion or crimping. They are well designed and made. I borrowed a pair to do a line on a car. Using it to shape one line is all it took to make me add this tool to my tool box. They make it in 1/4 inch also. Will add that one next. Well worth the investment if you work with brake or fuel lines often, even the cu/ni lines are much easier to shape with these devices. You just think using your hands is easier until you use these.

I don't bend brake tubing very often, so I've always been 'satisfied' with a dinky little multi-purpose bender. The tubing would always get stuck in it, and it was generally a pain in the neck, but I hardly ever used it so whatever.I spoiled myself and bought this for a project where I really wanted to do a nice-looking job. This is a professional tool made for a single purpose, and it works PERFECTLY. I quickly made a bunch of new brake lines with nice tight 'factory' looking bends. It was easy to make accurate bends, and the tubing never kinked up or got stuck in the tool. I wish I would have bought this tool ten years ago, even if I only would have used it once a year!
