what are good tools for bending brake lines ???

Brake Tube Bending Pliers
These tubing pliers allow you to bend brake tubing easily. Special low-profile head design allows you to bend much closer to the tube nut than conventional tubing benders allow. Also useful for holding tubing while cutting or deburring. For 1/4", 3/16" or 4.75mm tubing only. Made in the USA.

Beware of cheap knock-offs! We have been selling these high-quality pliers for years without a single reported problem. By contrast, the foreign-made imitations are made of a weaker metal with a low-quality rivet in the joint. We have one customer who reports that the pair he bought from us has outlasted three of the cheaper version!

I've used an inexpensive brake line bender from AutoZone on 3 cars now. Unless you need to make more then 180 bends I don't see why you would need more. Has channels in it for 5/16 - 3/8 line.
