FAQs

What size brake pipes can this set bend?

The set is designed for brake pipes measuring 4.75mm to 6mm (approximately 3/16" to 1/4") in diameter.

What materials can be bent with these tools?

These benders are suitable for use on copper and cupro-nickel brake pipes.

Do I need any special tools to use this set?

Yes, you will need a standard 6mm hex key or a 1/4"D ratchet, which are not included with the set.

Can I use this set for all types of bends?

The set is ideal for creating single, smooth bends. For complex or multiple compound bends, additional tools or techniques may be necessary.

Can these benders be used on brake lines already installed on a vehicle?

Yes, the compact design allows for in-situ use on a vehicle, making it convenient for repairs without removing the entire brake line.

How do I prevent the brake pipe from kinking?

Ensure the pipe is properly seated within the bender's groove and apply slow, consistent pressure while turning the hex key or ratchet.

Are these benders compatible with steel brake lines?

No, this set is specifically designed for copper and cupro-nickel brake pipes. It is not suitable for steel brake lines.

Troubleshooting

Pipe is kinking instead of bending smoothly.

Ensure the pipe is fully seated in the bender's groove. Use slow, steady pressure. Check if the pipe material is compatible (copper or cupro-nickel) and within the specified diameter range.

Bender is not gripping the pipe properly.

Verify that the pipe diameter matches the bender's specification. Ensure the pipe is clean and free of significant deformation before insertion.

Difficulty inserting a hex key or ratchet.

Confirm you are using a standard 6mm hex key or a 1/4"D ratchet. Ensure the drive socket on the bender is clear of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Select the correct bender size for the brake pipe diameter (4.75mm - 6mm). Insert the brake pipe into the corresponding groove on the bender. Attach a 6mm hex key or a 1/4"D ratchet to the drive point on the bender. Slowly and carefully turn the hex key/ratchet to create the desired bend. Avoid over-bending or kinking the pipe.

Compatibility: This set is designed for use with standard copper and cupro-nickel brake pipes within the 4.75mm to 6mm diameter range. It is compatible with Laser Tools Part Nos. 8520 (Brake Pipe Reamer), 7624 (Mini Ratcheting Brake Pipe Cutter), and 6728 (Brake Pipe Flaring Tool).

Care: After each use, clean the benders with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Store the set in a clean, dry place. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the tool's surface.
