Tubing Bender and Forming Pliers Kit
Item #13621
When you can bend tubing "kink-free", you avoid wasted time and money!
If you try to bend a brake, fuel, transmission or A/C line by hand, you kink the tube...try to align or form the line by hand, you kink the tube. Since you're tired of wasting that time and money, let Eastwood end your frustration with our Tubing Bender and Forming Pliers Set.
Pliers and Bender both bend 3/16" and 1/4" tubing
Bender also works on 5/16" and 3/8" tubing
Aligns, bends and adjusts
Comfort-grip vinyl handles
So far this video is the most informative one I've seen. The detail showing what not to do and what happens when you don't was good.
Brake fluid on its own is not corrosive. Brake fluid turns acidic after it absorbs water. Coatings will deteriorate if brake fluid is left on a surface long enough to absorb moisture and then turn acidic.

The tool comes with 5 dies - 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 and 4.75mm. Visit Eastwood.com for more info or to chat with a tech advisor. Thanks.
Thxs, Eastwood. Right now I'm replacing lines on a '98 LeSabre, a common platform. All lines have bubble flares (metric.) Most of the lines are 4.75mm, which is within .0005" of 3/16", so it's OK to use 3/16" line & bubble flare it. The lines that go from the HCU (ABS) to the master cylinder are 6mm which we haven't been able to find locally. 1/4" is .014" larger than 6mm. Maybe I can run 1/4' lines & bubble flare them w/my "bar clamp & yoke/pressure screw" bubble flare kit.
Thanks for the explanations. Well done!
Great video!! Thanks for posting!!
29:10 He actually did not correctly use the bending tool; you bend from the die-side not the backside. I can't believe he made this mistake.
Honestly, he wasn’t paying attention. The way he bent the line, he definitely kinked it pretty badly by crushing down with the die side of the bender.
There are adapters you can get to hook SAE to An and vicey versi
Ok, you did a bubble flare on a 4.75mm O.D. tube. Now what about 6, 8 & 10mm tubing? Can this tool do that?
At 23: 12 on the right side of the single flare it is split, Not too much impressed with the double flare either. Also a lot of disclaimers mentioned. For the price of this it should be more durable and fool proof, and why not include a good tube cutter with it? And also throw in the dies for a/n fittings Too. Can you get parts for this when it breaks?
Unfortunately they don't state it's only good for copper pipe .. try and flare a factory pipe from manufacturer.. it just pushes the pipe through .. does not grip the pipe..
These dyes need to be shaved down to grip the pipe .. ally alloy..
OR .... make up a paper shim to effectively increase the pipe size that the split die sees ... works very well ...
My double flares always look like a small single flare
You used the tubing bender pliers the WRONG way!!! You bend towards the radius, not towards the flat edge!!!
Good catch ksauto1, its little things like that that tell the difference between a mechanic and a salesman.
Good job!
To straighten brake line put it on a flat table and roll a board over it?
I have a 97 cadillac deville, inspection flagged all brake lines... Is it normal to have quotes for the work starting at $800+, what kind of work is entailed in this job. As when I looked at the actual cost of brake lines the lines are only a few dollars for a few feet... Also, what I am running into is that I can not find a mechanic that WANTS to do the job in my area. And to take my old car to the dealership= $1200 for just replacement of the lines ONLY.
With single flare, you skip OP 0 and OP 1 and just eyeball it?
If you have the option to double flare with the same tool why wouldn't you use a double flare? It's way less likely to fail.
Man, - I wanted to see that hydraulic tool make the GM push to connect line fitting. - But that is a nice tool you were using on those flare lines. - How much does that cost?

Ok. - But what about those push-on fuel-line flares, is there a demonstration anywhere on That?
How do you what size nut to put on the brake line,and do you sell them?
Never listen to the opinion of someone named manuel
people are still stuck in the dark ages.....SO WHAT, HE HAS TATS .
@therockkkkher a "real man" does not give a fuck what you think. tattoos have nothing to do with intelligence
It's an indication of a person's demeanor. I avoid ALL women with tatoes! AMERICAN WOMAN, STAY AWAY FROM MEE HEE.
redo this with larger tubing next tine
Does not do 1/4" stainless. 1/4 stainless tube laughs at it. Returning mine. May perform well on regular steel but tool sux for stainless tube
HAHAHAHA! Why dont u get some more fucking tattoos Matt... :p
leek at flair ?
I HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS, DO YOU HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER,,,IM DEALING WITH HYDRAULICS
***** Please visit www.eastwood.com where you can find more info on this product or talk to a tech advisor. Thanks for the interest.
Eastwood couldn't find someone to do this who's not covered in tattoos?
Guy is tatted up like he just got released from prison. Awesome marketing move by Eastwood!
quit bitching.
Grow up! Appearance means nothing, knowledge is everything.
My black arm would be more problematic. The ignorant ignore the substance!
And how do we make these flares if we cannot afford to spend $ 300, $400 for a tool that will be used once in a three or 4 years
+hjjackson05 There are other tools available at Eastwood. This is just the best one for the job.
+hjjackson05 So you are saying this company is supposed to just engineer design and manufacture a product and then sell it for almost nothing because you don't have the money?
+joe8388 Not at all. The question was meant to be rhetorical and some what suggestive. If the question were to be answered I would expect it (or hope it) to be. “ We have a flaring tool that does the job for DIYers/ infrequent users. CLICK LINK to see it”. My first attempt at brake lines I tried a tool made in China that was useless. Eastwood does in fact have a $32.00 tool that I used right out of the box after viewing someone else’s video. I replaced all brake lines on 2 vehicles, some 30 flares, with no leaks and only 3 remakes. Good customer service indicates they should have a video that supports their lesser priced products as well. That video would also increase their sales as it would not be a competing product. Actually this comment is good advertising as it is an endorsement of Eastwood product quality
Looks like Walt Disney threw up on your right arm. It would be nice for viewers to focus on the tool and the product you are selling and not your personal art. Especially on close-ups.
