About Professional Brake Tubing Flaring Tool
Mounts in your vise to help you easily form 45-degree single, double and bubble flares in OE steel, stainless steel, and soft metal tubing for 3/16"-, 1/4"-, 5/16"-, 3/8"- and 4.75mm-diameter lines...which means it will handle all your plumbing jobs from brake lines to transmission cooler lines and fuel lines.
"Turret-style" design allows you to make those precision flares in minimal time. All the brake-flaring forming dies you need are mounted right on the turret, so there's no fumbling for small parts, no worry about missing dies. "T"-handle screw clamp securely holds your line in place during forming.
To use, simply insert the tubing, swing the turret to step 1 to set the proper line depth. Turn the turret to step 2, where you'll form the flare. To form a double flare, spin the turret to step 3 to form it without cracks or deformation, and in perfect alignment with the fitting. This assures a tight, leak-free, professional brake flare every time!
Compare to high-dollar European or U.S. models and see for yourself—you can't beat the high-quality results you'll get with this brake-flaring tool. It's a professional-grade tool at a do-it-yourself price. Imported.
Vise-mounted brake-line flaring tool is crafted of forged steel, with durable, hardened-steel forming surfaces and dies. Includes quick-release "T"-handle screw clamp; forming tool; 3/16"-, 1/4"-, 5/16"-, 3/8"- and 4.75mm-dia. tube-retaining dies; instructions; durable molded case.
Always wear appropriate eye protection.
1-year mfr's. warranty against defects.

Truly Excellent

Review by William -
I am redoing all the lines on a 40 year old car and bought one of the bar-type flaring tools...a quality one. I struggled with it but just couldn't master the perfect flare, on my first attempt to bleed the brakes, fluid came pouring out of the connectors...made me feel stupid.Quality Price Value
So I threw in the towel and bought the Eastwood tool...which is simply amazing. This makes a perfect flare every time versus 1 out of 10 with the bar style...and is really fun to use. Just the read the other reviews...this is one of the best tools I now own...the price is just fine for what I received. -
The best tool I have ever bought

Review by ChargerE49 -
Often when you buy a tool, they don't work as advertised or are a pain to use. Sometimes they are just cheap, one shot, tools that you know you shouldn't have bought but you needed to save some bucks. However, if you really want a job done like a pro, you need the right gear.Quality Price Value
Sometimes though you get lucky and find a tool that is a real delight to use, simple, elegant and which produces professional results, first time, every time and this flare tool is one of those. After hours and hours of practice and finally getting some decent double flares from the standard clamp and screw type flare tool, I had the need to do a lot of pipe work and I wasn't looking forward to it. I had to get the job done as good as the factory so I splashed out and bought this tool and had it shipped to Australia. Couldn't buy anything like it here - no matter the cost.
The results were way ahead of any of the flares I had paid brake shops to do and this tool is worth every cent.

I restore cars for a hobby.Price Value Quality
Over the years, I've been using the typical flaring tool with limited success. No mater what I would do to square the end, It would take me 3 tries to get the the flair straight and looking just OK. By this time the tube was to short or I forgot to put the nut on the tube!!! Either way they sucked.
I finally bit the bullet and bought this tool since life is to short.
This is the best tool I've ever owned!!!!!!!
All I want to do all is flare tubing it works so easy and the flairs look so good.
Please look past the dollar amount and just buy it. You will never regret it.
Thanks again for coming up with a better way!!

I took a chance and purhased this tool to replace my old flare tools and WOW... It took longer to cut the material to length than to do the flares...Quality Price Value
I do tubing kits for restorations and I did my forst kit 16 inverted flares in less time an better quality than it took me to cut the 8 sections...
Very easy to use and easy on the hands... -

Fantastic ToolPrice Value Quality
I’ve worked with professional grade plumbing flaring tools before, and I can tell you that the Eastwood flaring tool is simply unbelievable! The stainless lines were always very hard for me to get right with the plumbing tools, but every flare has turned out to be perfect with this Eastwood tool. The price is a little rough for a hobbyist like me, but I figure the value comes back in not having to rework leaky connections. -

I'm no expert but "This tool rocks!"Price Value Quality
I used this professional brake tubing flaring tool for my 3/16" stainless steel brake lines and am amazed how smooth and simple this tool works. Perfect flairs each time. The key is to make sure the line has been prepped correctly before the use of this tool.
The only weakness IMO is the clamp. I overtightened it and it snapped at the pivoting hinge point. Either there is not enough strength in the material used or I was Conan the Barbarian when it snapped. Should have been made of steel.
Eastwood came right through and replaced it in no time. I would recommend it to anyone who is frustrated with cheaper hand held kits. -

Review by emile v -
I've used the simple kind with the screw handle but these are much easier to use. Directions could be a little clearer on which die to use(as they have 2 different ends on each block), but after figuring out which side of the block to use, this tool worked like a champ. I used it on 3/16 auto brake line and no leaks- first try.Price Value Quality -
Best tool I ever bought

Review by Hummer -
I have a bunch of custom cars I am working on and I have always hated flaring my own brake lines and you never can seem to find the right length premade. After throwing my old flaring tool across the garage I broke down and spent the money on the Eastwood flaring tool. I can honestly say this is one of the best tools I have ever bought, it worked perfectly the first time and literally takes seconds to make a perfect flare. Every time one of my buddies comes over I have to get it out and show them how well it works. I no longer cringe when I think about making a custom brake line, actually I am looking forward to using it again soon!Price Value Quality
