You are a life saver!! I've been working on bringing my neighbors old truck back to life and Ive tried everything to fix the fuel line. God bless you sir and have a good day.

Tried your method after watching your video. It works!!! Did one line with really acute bends that a tube bender wouldn't come close to. It has made my job easier. Just a little hard on my old hands. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

You can make your own bender by cutting both ends of a plumber snake spring.The lines will fit nicely into it. You can bend those steel lines by hand without ever kinking them. Also, you can use 2 spark plug sockets of different sizes clamped in a vise to bend the lines. Contrary to most round sockets,these have a square base for clamping.

Excellent idea. I was looking for a means to make extremely tight bends for brake line applications. I will try this method. Tubing benders do NOT afford that capability. Many thanks for taking the time to post this.

Nice tips.. I have actually been bending NiCopp brake lines for years exactly as you demonstrated. Its not perfect but it's pretty close to original. Living in the salt-belt (Chicago) forces me to be an expert with a lot of things that are corroded like bake lines. Once again, nice tips and great video.

Good idea. Never thought of using sockets. How about using 2 sockets side by side, just spaced for the tubing to fit between...Might make it easier to bend. Just a thought.

Great Idea... Stick another short extension right next to the socket tighten them both in the vise, then place the tubing between them and you won't need to hold it with your thumb and bend away.

You can also fill the larger lines with salt. That's how we get perfect tight spiral coils in 1/4 and 3/8" copper tubing for elaborate reflux condensers for moonshine stills. With the salt in the tubing coils can be wound to fit inside 2" copper tubing with the coils ranging from 12" to 24" long. That would be nearly impossible without kinks and inventing new strings of curse words. The salt comes out easily by taping and an air compressor once the bulk of it is removed... That may be a little over kill since your technique works perfectly. The salt technique may still be useful for the folks with 2 left hands as far as their mechanical skills go.

Well Hello again! I don't know how I missed this video, but so glad I searched in the search box. Question? Do you prefer stainless or another kind of brake lines? Thanks for sharing, I have a new master cylinder and have a small job for the lines from master to distribution block. It is highway robbery for what they want for a tube bender, so appreciate this video. Cheers and blessings from Motown!

You may want the camera on top, looking down. The real test is, how close your bend is to the nut. Harbor Freight sells a pair of bending pliers that makes tighter bends than yours AND you can form them while under the car. No vise is needed, no sockets, no grunting...etc. Check out my vid: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lX13z52woYpme3Y

Would heating the tubing up a little with a propane torch to control the heat better, make this bending jb a little easier or would I just be wasting propane? I am going to be headed out into a 17 degree, Ohio garage ASAP and I have 1 piece of 8" long x 3/16" tubing that I will have to put at least two weird bends in because I need a 3" to 4" long piece, and 8" is the smallest that O'Reilly's had to offer. I don't have a flaring tool to make a shorter, and more precise length of brake tubing myself or I would definitely buy a good length, to allow for my first attempt screw ups and try it myself
