[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1025849, member: 17493"] them fancy benders are nice and all, but if you bend alot of line you will quickly learn it has its limitations. I have one (yes its a good one) and hardly use it. I use my thumbs most of the time and sometimes an assortment of old pulleys helps too. that tool never fits and most lines have to be bent in place unless its a very short one. ever try to feed that tool and a line between mufflers and gas tanks. I have prebent too many lines just to straiten it out to get it in place. the more you bend it it gets harder and tougher to work with (work hardened). about the flairing tool. if flairing old lines, there is no good way. old lines are hard. new lines I have found even with a Snapon flair kit it strill pushes the tube out of the clamp jig unless I put the jig in the vise and secure it that way. good luck:awesomework: :beer: [/QUOTE]
