FAQs

What type of tubing can these pliers bend?

These pliers are specifically designed for bending 3/16" and 1/4" O.D. copper tubing.

Can I use these pliers on steel brake lines?

No, these pliers are not designed for use on steel brake lines. Using them on steel may damage the pliers or the tubing.

How do I clean the pliers?

Wipe the pliers clean with a cloth after each use. Remove any debris or oil.

How should I store the pliers?

What should I do if the tubing kinks while bending?

Try to bend the tubing more slowly, and make sure the tubing is correctly seated in the pliers. You might need to make small adjustments to achieve the desired result.

Troubleshooting

Tubing kinks during bending.

Reduce the bending angle or apply pressure more slowly and evenly. Ensure the tubing is properly aligned in the pliers.
