Why the huge difference in price? I unfortunately bought mine a week ago from Eastwood and paid one hundred bucks more.

Link to catalog page, Eastwood tool

And a link to what looks the same at HF, HF tool

I did get those brake line bending pliers. I had looked at the others I saw, and they didn't do all the sizes that the Eastwood ones did (and these were for shop use, so I was reimbursed).

That said, with ANY company, I try to figure out who actually makes the tool and who sells it cheapest, then how is that companies service.

Alot of expensive brand names are just rebadge of less expensive brands. It is alot less expensive buying directly from the OEM. Why pay for the middleman if you don't have to.
