The AB Tools Brake Pipe Straightener (FL74) is an essential tool for professional mechanics and DIY automotive enthusiasts who frequently work with brake systems. It provides the key benefit of transforming coiled brake piping into perfectly straight, manageable sections, reducing installation time and improving system reliability; however, it is limited to specific pipe diameters, meaning it will not work for specialized heavy-duty industrial pipe sizes.

While the tool is built from durable chrome vanadium, it is designed primarily for copper, copper-nickel, brass, and standard steel. Exercise caution and extra force with extra-hard stainless steel lines.
No, this tool is designed to straighten coiled pipe. It cannot remove tight, pre-existing bends.
The FL74 is designed as a complete unit; ensure the formers are stored safely with the tool when not in use.
The formers are sized to match the outside diameter of your brake pipe. Match the size stamped on the former to your specific pipe gauge.
The tool is intended for manual operation by hand, though it can be held in a vise if you need to pull the pipe through with both hands for better leverage.
Ensure you are using the correct size former and that the pipe is centered in the channel before pulling.
Check for external debris on the pipe and ensure the rollers are clean; adding a small amount of lubricant to the pipe surface can help.
Clean the rollers of the tool to remove embedded metal chips or grit that may have collected during previous use.
To begin using the tool, ensure the pipe is free of heavy debris or external corrosion that might snag inside the rollers. Select the correct former based on the pipe diameter and insert it into the tool body. Feed the end of the coiled pipe into the input guide and pull the tool along the length of the tubing until you have reached the desired length.
