FAQs

What types of tubing can I bend with these pliers?

These pliers can bend 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" brass, copper, steel, or aluminum tubing.

Are these pliers suitable for automotive brake lines?

Yes, these pliers are suitable for bending steel tubing used in automotive brake lines, provided it is within the specified size range.

How do I choose the correct size slot for my tubing?

The pliers are marked with the tube sizes (3/16", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8"). Match the size of your tubing to the corresponding slot on the pliers.

Can I use these pliers on stainless steel tubing?

The pliers are designed for steel tubing but may not perform optimally on hardened stainless steel. It is recommended to test on a scrap piece of stainless steel first.

How do I maintain the pliers to ensure they last?

Clean the pliers after each use and store them in a dry place. Lubricate the moving parts with a light oil periodically.

What is the warranty on these pliers?

Warranty information is not available in the provided product data. Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or contact the seller for warranty details.

Can I bend multiple tubes at once?

Troubleshooting

Tube is kinking during the bend.

Ensure the tube is securely inserted into the correct size slot and bend slowly and steadily. Also, make sure the tubing material is within the specified material types.

Difficulty achieving the desired bend angle.

Practice with scrap tubing to get a feel for the tool. Use a protractor to measure the angle if precision is critical. Make sure the tubing is properly aligned with the bending form.

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to operate.

Lubricate the moving parts with a light oil, such as machine oil. Clean any debris or rust that may be causing friction. Check for any damage to the pliers.
