Precision Brake Line Straightener: Ultimate Guide for Flawless Tubing

Every mechanic knows the frustration of kinked brake lines ruining a perfect repair. The AltitudeCraft Precision Brake Line Straightener solves this with industrial-grade engineering, handling tubing from 3/16” to 1.0” diameters. Designed for professionals who demand zero-compromise performance, this tool eliminates costly rework in automotive and HVAC applications.

Why This Tool Dominates Workshops

• Dual bearing acetal rollers prevent metal fatigue
• 3.3 lb aluminum alloy construction withstands daily abuse
• 60-second vise mounting vs permanent installation flexibility

Material-Specific Straightening Protocols

Soft aluminum requires different handling than copper brake lines. Our tests show:

• Aluminum tubing: 2 passes at medium pressure
• Copper fuel lines: Single pass with roller tension set to 4
• Plastic HVAC tubing: Cold straightening only

Pro Maintenance Checklist

Extend your tool's lifespan with these steps:

1. Clean rollers after each use with degreaser
2. Monthly bearing lubrication (NLGI #2 grease)
3. Check alignment every 500 cycles

FAQs

Q1. Will this work on stainless steel brake lines?
While optimized for soft metals, it can handle stainless up to 0.8” diameter when using slow feed rates.

Q2. How to prevent roller slippage?
Clean debris from rollers monthly and verify spring tension matches material hardness.
