    Question can anyone loan a tubing straightener?

    Hey guys, I think i'm going with the NiCopp stuff since so many really like it and looking for a tubing straightener, it's only ~$25 for a 25ft spool, versus $50 for 5 straight lines

    I already have an Eastwood flaring tool.

    Thx!

    I have one you're welcome to borrow but I suspect that paying for shipping both ways will likely be more than the $25 savings. If you're planning to come down to the South Bay for some reason, you're welcome to swing by and pick it up. I'm down in Los Gatos.

    Edit: This is the one I have. It works great, but it's heavy to ship.

    I know you don't particularly want to buy one but this is one of the slickest ones I've seen. You don't need to hold it in a vise to use.

    Yes, Eastwood sells a similar (same?) one. They're nice, but they each only work on one size of tubing so you'd need at least a couple of them for fuel and brake lines (if using hard lines for both).
