Awesome thanks, makes sense I'll give that a shot !

Tubing benders are far from being obsolete. Making blanket statements about a tool you decided not to use is far from reality. Aviation, commercial plumbing, Hydraulics, hot rod shops, etc

we are on a truck forum talking about brake lines, they are not needed with NiCopp, that's the reality.

The statement referred to tubing benders being an obsolete tool, and making a blanket statement like that being far from the truth. If you choose not to use one, feel free. And the topic is kit, prebent or do your own. Not needed or needed it is ones own choice. That is the reality your missing. I like having the ability to have the correct curve or radias whether copper, aluminum, stainless, or nickel copper. You may not, that is reality. Your choice may not be your neighbors choice.

I've never worked with NiCop tubing. I'm told it's easy to bend and work with.

I use REAL tubing benders on double-wall seamless steel tubing. I wouldn't do the job without them. Nice, tight-radius bends with minimal deformation, and no kinking.

I've seen the results of tubing work where the tube gets bent "over the knee". Sloppy, big-radius bends that look terrible.

Example of an Imperial tubing bender, made in sizes from 1/8 inch to at least 1/2; probably larger.

I recently installed a LMC pre-bent full brake line kit. It's from Inline Tube and worked very well.

Ha ha, yeah, it's not the tools, it's the user. Lol!

At the facility i worked at they had these up to 3/4 tube. Some parts just no longer produced. So fabrication 101.
