Benjamin Oakes & Co. Ltd have been manufacturing specialist pipe flaring and bending tools for the automotive industry in Birmingham England since 1945. Forty years on, Oakes Tools was established to concentrate on the supply and export of these excellent tools to a much wider market, retaining founder and designer Ben Oakes, to continue development of these specialist tools.

Oakes' specialist range of tools incorporates unique products which are recognised throughout the industry for their quality, reliability and accuracy. For example, our Automatic flaring tool is the only manual tool that produces pipes (including the Citroen type flares) in under 15 seconds with minimal material wastage. The Universal tool (available in a variety of colours) is also capable of producing the Citroen type flares. No other tools produce such a variety of flares, with such accuracy and precision.

Oakes pipe benders come in a range of sizes to suit both DIY and commercial user. Amongst our most popular lines are the 111 bender, 112/3 big benders, 3/16" deburrers, heavily chrome plated hose clamps and special pipe spanners. Whatever your choice, Oakes has a keen pricing policy which ensures the best possible value for money for all our customers.

At Oakes Tools and Automec we look forward to providing you with pipe and pipe fitting solutions well into the next millennium.
