Lisle 44070 1/4" Tubing Bending Pliers

All my Lisle tools are pretty solid, this one included. I guess I don't quite have the hang of this one, because no matter what I did it had a tendency to flatten the brake line somewhat. Would the line be fine that way, yeah probably. But it still bothered me, and I didn't spend this kind of money on a single-size tool to have it flatten lines on me. I'll chalk that up to user error and only knock off one star. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually.I ended up using the  OTC 6515 3-in-1 180 Degree Heavy Duty Tubing Bender  for all my bends instead. Granted you don't always have the choice, but this Lisle will stay in the cabinet unless I'm really stuck.

The Lisle tube bender mad it east to make tight bends near the fittings. I would not have been able to do the tight bends needed for the clearances I had without this tool. I bought sever benders at the local parts houses, but had to wait until I got this tool to do my bending.

Make job much easier

I really like these pliers and have several sizes. I feel they give me the best control at a reasonable price.

These pliers work well for both in bending and straightening the 1/4" fuel line I was fitting to my '37 Ford.Comfortable handles with the ability to apply a fair amount of force to the tubing without distortion.

Perfect for tight bends in brake line

As expected and arrived in good time. Tends to flatten out line as you bend it. Definitely doesn't work as nice as my 3/16 one does.

I bought these for a line job that needed a tight bend. They can get a lot tighter bend than the normal bender, but I borrowed a friend's Eastwood tubing pliers and it worked better. The Lisle ones were more likely to kink the tubing. The Eastwood ones never kinked.

Good quality
