Assembling PTFE (Teflon) AN lines can be challenging, especially when trying to peel back the steel braid without risking injury or damaging the inner liner. Mishimoto's Braid Spreader for PTFE simplifies this process, allowing you to open and manipulate the braid safely and efficiently. Designed for lines from -3 to -8AN, this tool reduces the risk of puncturing the inner lining or injuring your fingers, making the installation process much smoother. It also helps reshape the PTFE inner liner if it becomes out of round after cutting, ensuring a proper fit during assembly. Additionally, the Braid Spreader facilitates pushing the ferule or olive onto the inner liner, streamlining what can otherwise be a time-consuming step in hose assembly. The tool features a lightweight anodized aluminum body, which minimizes fatigue during extended use and provides durability for multiple projects. Its hollow design allows for convenient storage of extra ferules or olives, keeping essential components within reach. The polished stainless-steel insert reduces friction and prevents scratching of the ferules or PTFE lining, maintaining the integrity of your lines. Like all Mishimoto tools, this Braid Spreader is backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and quality. Whether you're a professional mechanic or a dedicated enthusiast, this tool enhances safety and efficiency during AN line assembly, helping you achieve professional results with less effort. Its ergonomic design and high-quality materials make it an indispensable addition to any automotive workshop or toolbox, especially when working with high-performance or custom fluid transfer lines.
