Laser Tools is this week promoting its brake pipe bender and clamp set.
Included are a pair of brake pipe bender tools for shaping both copper and cupro-nickel brake pipes in situ on the vehicle, or on the bench.
They are designed to be used with a standard 6mm hex key or a 1/4″D ratchet.
Two pairs of brake pipe clamps are also included, to enable the new pipe to be held securely next to the existing pipe, so that the new pipe can be shaped to replicate the one that it’s replacing.
With the existing and new pipes clamped together, the bender tool is steadily turned, the tool’s radius ensuring a smooth curve without any kinking or flattening of the new pipe.
