brake pipe repair kit

Competitively priced compared to others on Amazon and other retailers. The pipe cutter would benefit from being a little more compact as at times you’re working in tight spaces under the car. The flaring tool allows for the creation of male and female ends however placing the pipe in the clamp nips the pipe causing 2 small indentations. The bending tool takes a little time to figure out but works well.

Purchased this replace a corroded brake pipe on a Peugeot 107. The media could not be loaded. As mentioned on previous reviews the item does not arrive in the nice case displayed. These dents don’t affect the internal diameter of the pipe however they do highlight the biggest issue with this kit - it’s not copper pipe.
Otherwise it would have been 5 stars Alternatively you could purchase copper-nickel pipe separately.
If you’re stuck you can bend the pipe by hand or with pliers. On the whole the kits work.
The pipe, as other reviews have stated, is steel with a very fine layer of copper over the top. Let down by the piping. Minor scratches to the pipe from flaring or fitting exposes the steel which will rust quickly on the underside of a car. The pipe cutter, pipe bending and flaring tools feel solid, if a little rudimentary.
But most importantly, they work. I’ve purchased silicone tubing to cover the pipe before fitting to the car.
