I helped someone do brake lines on a s-10 the other day and he had this brake line. It was great to work with, takes flares good and is easily bent without kinks. I never used it before. I was wondering if anyone has experience with it and how is the long term durability is.

I've heard that's good stuff. The price is right with all those fittings. Stupid me, I bought a full set of brake lines for my 99 for $320 and it's not the copper nickel. Heard about the copper nickel after I bought it. Hell, I've got all the tubing bending tools from 1/8" up to 5/8", and a damn expensive set of flaring tools. Live and learn.

First noticed the copper/nickel lines when I worked at autozone. LOVE this stuff, especially here in Ohio with the salt. Won't use anything else now.

I debated going that route on my truck. If I were making a repair, no question id go that route. But to bend up an entire set and put all the flares on, that was one of the few places where I decided to let my labor figure into the equation so I ordered a complete kit from inline tube prebent in stainless.

I think it's Volvo that's been using that stuff forever.

Link works for me. That was just one listing. You can buy it with or without fittings and metric or standard fittings. They also have different length rolls. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...liid=I3QRQ19STUZSGN&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl
