Description

Hand-Operated Brake Pipe Bender for 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm Tubing

Brief Overview

This cast-metal hand-operated brake pipe bender is purpose-built for technicians and shops that fabricate or repair hydraulic brake lines. The tool accommodates three standard tubing sizes—1/8″ (3mm), 3/16″ (4mm), and 1/4″ (6mm)—making it indispensable for both OEM repair work and custom brake system assembly. Pair this with complementary tools like brake line flaring equipment or brake fitting assortments to establish a complete brake fabrication workstation.

Key Features

  • Multi-Size Compatibility: Stepped bending dies accommodate 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm tubing in a single tool
  • Full-Range Bending: Capable of bends from 0° to 180° for complex routing and layout flexibility
  • Minimum Bend Radius: 15mm ensures smooth, code-compliant curves that meet automotive hydraulic standards
  • Cast Metal Construction: Durable, glossy blue-finished body with large silver pivot pins for reliable long-term performance
  • Degree Markings: Integrated 45° and 90° reference marks stamped near the hinge for quick, repeatable angle settings
  • Ergonomic Dual Handles: Curved lever design with elongated lower-arm slot for leverage and easy hanging storage
  • No Loose Parts: Fully riveted assembly—no small components to lose or replace

Why This Tool Matters for Your Shop

Efficiency & Accuracy:
Brake pipes bent incorrectly lead to rework, customer callbacks, and lost labor hours. This bender's stepped dies and degree markings eliminate guesswork, letting your technicians produce code-compliant bends on the first attempt.

Versatility Across Jobs:
Three tubing sizes mean one tool handles the vast majority of brake repair and fabrication jobs. No need to stock separate single-size benders; this reduces inventory complexity and space requirements.

Reseller Advantage:
Brake line bending is a frequent request in automotive service. Offering this tool positions your shop as capable of custom brake work, opening the door to higher-margin fabrication services. Hand-operated tools also appeal to price-conscious technicians and smaller garages with limited compressed-air or hydraulic infrastructure.

Durability & Low Maintenance:
Cast construction and integrated pivot hardware mean minimal wear surfaces and no consumable elements. Once purchased, it generates repeat business with zero replacement parts required.
