I made my own using patio door rollers and angle, it worked great for 3/16 brake line but not so well for 3/8" fuel line.

I've looked at a few different design that guy have built. They look quite simple to build, but to change tube sizes you need to start adding washers to get the spacing. I'll have three different sizes and I like the idea of the adjustablility of the Brakequip one.

That's what I was worried about. I want to buy one unit that will work with brake and fuel line.

Buy it straight, then you don't have to straighten it?
