Anyone bought or used a tubing straightener, any one type you recommend. I’m thinking about investing in one. 2 different styles below.

Thanks Dave

I have one like you pictured. I buy nicop brake line rolls and this works very well once adjusted. I put it in a vise.

I’ve been on the fence about buying one, not sure how often I would really use it.

My vise works for me.

Here's the one I went with. Worked well for my 3/16" brake lines and 1/4" fuel lines.

i just did my whole car with nicopp. its very easy to work with and straightens out just fine by hand. infact the stuff is so soft that even if you made the perfect part on the bench, it will be bent up after you wiggle it around the chassis parts to install, then straighten again by hand. mine looks great, then the fight with the fluid starts!!

I believe someone on the HAMB made me using the rollers used on patio doors and some scrap metal and a little time.
