FAQs
What type of brake pipes is this tool designed for?
This tool is specifically designed for nylon-covered brake pipes, commonly found on VAG and GM vehicles.

The tool is suitable for use on brake pipe diameters ranging from 4.75mm to 15mm.
Can this tool be used on other types of brake pipe coatings?
While it's optimized for nylon coatings, its effectiveness on other materials may vary. It is best suited for its intended application.
How do I ensure I don't damage the brake pipe?
Use the large, knurled adjustment knob to set the cutting depth precisely. Make light, progressive passes rather than forcing the tool.
Is this tool part of a larger set?

How should I maintain the tool?
Clean the cutter head after use with a dry cloth and store it in a dry environment to prevent rust. Ensure the adjustment knob operates smoothly.
Troubleshooting
Tool not cutting coating cleanly
Ensure the adjustment knob is tightened sufficiently to engage the cutter. Check that the cutter head is free from debris or damage. Make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut.
Difficulty adjusting the knob
Clean the threads of the adjustment knob and the mechanism. Lubricate lightly with a suitable metal lubricant if necessary, ensuring no lubricant contaminates the brake pipe.
Tool slips on the brake pipe
Verify the brake pipe diameter is within the tool's specified range (4.75mm - 15mm). Ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry.
