The AB Tools TE393 is a compact 3-in-1 brake pipe bender designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with steel brake pipes. Its primary benefit is accurately bending pipes up to 90 degrees without crushing, ensuring fluid line integrity. A key consideration is its suitability for specific pipe diameters (3, 4.75, and 6mm) and steel materials.

This bender is specifically designed for steel pipes with diameters of 3mm, 4.75mm, and 6mm. It is not recommended for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing.
The bender allows for bends at 45 and 90 degrees.
While designed to prevent crushing, it is best suited for the rigidity of steel brake pipes. For very thin-walled or soft tubing, results may vary, and a specialized tube straightener or bender might be more appropriate.
The bender features integrated dies for 3mm, 4.75mm, and 6mm pipes. Ensure the pipe you are bending matches one of these sizes and is correctly seated in the corresponding die groove.
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it may vary.
Yes, its robust construction and precision make it suitable for professional use, especially for tasks involving brake line repairs or custom fabrication where accuracy is important.
Ensure you are using the correct die size for the pipe. Verify that the pipe is steel and within the specified diameter range (3, 4.75, or 6mm). Ensure the pipe is correctly seated in the bender.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the moving parts or dies. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted. Lubrication is generally not required but if necessary, use a light, non-corrosive lubricant on pivot points.
The bender is designed for bends up to 90 degrees. For sharper bends, you may need to make multiple partial bends or use a different tool. Ensure the pipe is properly positioned for the desired angle.
Setup: The AB Tools TE393 requires no complex setup. It is ready for use out of the box.
Compatibility: This bender is specifically designed for bending steel pipes with diameters of 3mm, 4.75mm, and 6mm. It is not intended for copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing.
Care: To maintain performance, keep the bending dies clean and free from debris. After use, wipe the tool with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing the aluminium alloy to harsh chemicals. Store in a dry location to prevent corrosion.
