on some brake tubing. Our Brake Tube
Straightener uses hard polymer rollers
to prevent tube surface damage.”
Some tube straighteners tend to flatten
the tubing (for example, the home-
brewed jobs mentioned previously).
The design of the polymer rollers
is such that flattening the tubing
isn’t an issue. Another big reason
this straightener works so smoothly
and effortlessly is that Earl’s uses
ball bearings on the rollers. Tubing
pretty much glides through it.
In terms of materials you can use,
the Earl’s tubing straightener works
for 3/16-inch or ¼ inch tubing. It
functions perfectly with stainless
steel, aluminium, copper, copper-
nickel or conventional steel tubing.
The bottom line here is, this is a
simple, robust tool which flat works
(provided you follow the directions!).
