Laser Tools has released a new exceptionally versatile tube straightener which will straighten copper, stainless steel or aluminium pipe with diameters ranging from 4mm (3/16") to 10mm (3/8"). 

The new tool t(part number 8443)  utilises seven U-shaped, grooved rollers, which can be adjusted gradually and held in place by using the thumb lock, to guide the pipe through the straighteners without causing damage to the profile of the pipe.

The end result is a professional finish which makes hand fabricated brake pipes look like factory replacements. Plus it is important that any tube bending operation begins with a straight tube. This will let the technician match the exact bends of the original without dealing with twists in the new pipe.

The tool also features a fold out tab that enables it be mounted on a vice for ease of use. It is ideal for use when fabricating replacement automotive brake pipe, or the larger-sized central heating or air-conditioning installation pipework (also suited for microbore pipe). For tube diameters: 4.75 - 5mm (3/16"), 6 - 6.3mm (1/4"), 8mm (5/16") and 10mm (3/8") tubing.

The tool is both suitable for the professional technician or the dedicated enthusiast who demands high quality, both for modern vehicles and particularly for the classic car enthusiast. It also has uses for domestic heating and air-conditioning. 

The tube straightener is available now from Laser Tools stockist.
