Good Cheap Brake Line Tools

Some of you may have seen this kit. I bought it and love mine and thought I'd pass on how much I liked it.



I saw this on the bay. It is made in the UK and I had it shipped to my door for $45.00. Thought I'd give it a try.

Well it worked flawlessly...... I played around until I figured out what "hangover" length it liked and it worked nice.

Easy to use, not clumsy, built well, REALLY WELL. I'm impressed, and will buy another one (allthough as well as it is made it should last me a lifetime).

I think I picked up the cheap bender for like $10.00 off of ebay. It work well, and was worth it.

That's good to know. I use a Rigid version of these tools, and love them. They were a lot more pricey though! The flaring tool I bought was over $100, and the bender was almost $50, and it does only 1 size!!

A buddy of mine bought all new lines for his GTO from a catalog. Paid alot of money for pre bent and flared lines. He said he didn't want to spend the hundreds of dollars that Eastwood wanted for their flare tool. I used tools similar to what you posted above, purchased from Speedway. Paid very little and they work fine.
