SRAM Hydraulic Hose Barb Driver

This driver is specifically optimized for SRAM and Avid disc brake systems, as well as RockShox Reverb and XLoc hoses. While it may function with other brands, it is engineered to the precise tolerances of SRAM hydraulic components, so we recommend it primarily for those systems.

Yes, it is designed to accommodate both threaded and barbed fittings. It provides the necessary leverage to install either type securely without damaging the hose or the fitting itself.

Using pliers or a standard vise often leads to crushed hoses or bent barbs, which can compromise your braking system's integrity. This tool includes an integrated clamp that holds the hose firmly in place, ensuring a straight, clean installation every time.

The kit includes the driver pin and a Torx T10 wrench, which are the essential components for the installation. You will only need a standard hose cutter to trim your hydraulic line to the correct length before using the driver.

While it is possible to use it on the bike in some scenarios, it is significantly easier and safer to perform the installation with the hose removed. This allows you to secure the hose properly in the tool's clamp and ensures you have enough leverage to drive the barb in straight.
