Park Tool HBT-1 Hydraulic Barb Tool
Streamline your hydraulic brake service and eliminate the guesswork with the Park Tool HBT-1 Hydraulic Barb Tool. Engineered for precision and efficiency, this professional-grade tool is an essential addition to any mechanic´s toolbox, designed to make the often-tricky task of servicing hydraulic brake lines simple, clean, and accurate. Say goodbye to improper cuts and damaged components that can lead to poor brake performance and frustrating leaks.
This handy tool will save time and frustration! Quickly and accurately cuts hydraulic brake line then precisely installs hose barbs into the tubing when the brake line is either on or off the bike. The HBT-1 is a dual-purpose powerhouse, integrating two critical functions into one compact and ergonomic unit. First, it provides a perfectly square and clean cut on your hydraulic hose, which is the crucial first step to ensuring a secure, leak-free connection. Second, it precisely and safely installs the barbed hose insert into the newly cut hose, preventing damage to both the hose and the delicate barb.
Designed for maximum compatibility, the HBT-1 works seamlessly with the majority of press-in style barbed inserts found on systems from leading brands such as Shimano®, SRAM®, Avid®, Magura®, and Formula®. Its innovative design securely holds the hydraulic hose in place, allowing for a quick trim or a complete installation with unparalleled ease. The ability to perform these tasks with the brake line still routed on the bicycle frame adds a level of convenience that is invaluable for quick adjustments and repairs, saving you from the lengthy process of a full re-routing.
Crafted for longevity and repeated professional use, the HBT-1 is a true workshop investment. Its lightweight yet robust body is built to withstand the rigors of a busy service department or the demands of a dedicated home mechanic. Every part is designed with purpose, from the ultra-sharp blade to the precision-guided pin, ensuring that you achieve factory-quality results every single time.
