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.

So, I've never done any flaring before, but remember my Dad trying to use one of the handheld jobs years ago. Didn't want to go through that hassle again, so opted for the Eastwood tool. It was a bit more money than than the expensive manual units, but seemed a whole lot easier, and looked to be more idiot-proof (which comes in handy for me.)

Received it the other day, and had to waIt a couple of days to try it as the line I ordered was trailing the tool. Gave me a chance to check out how the tool was made, and how it's supposed to work.

When the tubing arrived, I cut off a 1' piece as a test piece, and had at it. Aside from a bit of indecision as to when the tool stroke was completed, it was dead-nuts easy to form a perfect flare in about a minute. Doing the other end of the test piece yielded another perfect flare in about 20 seconds. Then I cut off one of the flares, installed a fitting, and formed a third perfect flare in another 15 seconds. Then I bent up the test piece to use as a bench bleed rig for the trailer brake actuator.

Very impressed with the quality of build, and the ease of use. Almost makes me want to replace the brake lines more often than necessary.

This is the best tool I own. I hated flaring before. I could never make a good double flare. This tool makes it fun and easy. A monkey could do it. Thanks.

I am a hot rod hobbyist, and I love working on cars building early ford hot rods and T Buckets. I have always used the conventional flaring tools to make lines but after going through 3 sets of tools, because of dyes breaking, I wanted something easier and professional. This works great! Can do flares super fast and they are perfect almost every single time. Initial price hurts a little but its well worth it!

THIS TOOL IS THE CATS ASS. When I went in the garage to "practice" I couldn't believe how easy it was. A perfect double flair the very first time the only reason I stopped was I got tired of cutting short lengths of tubing. It was hard to part with the $$$ though but I've used the cheaper ones and you definitely get what you pay for. Some go for a lot more than the $ 200.00 I paid. With that said, if you are going to make your own brake and fuel lines this is the tool for you. I'm telling you folks you can't screw it up it's that simple.

You can feel the quality in this tool. Lots of steel, beefy construction, nice blow molded case. Weighs probably 10 pounds. I had never used a flare tool before, but found the Eastwood on sale for $160, which makes it more competitive with the nicer bar-style units.

The very first flares I made, while practicing on some short lengths of tubing, looked PERFECT. I followed the instructions exactly (including anti-seize) and used high quality tubing. It takes only about 30 seconds to make a double flare start to finish once you get the hang of it.

It's not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for. The primary safety system on your car is not the place to cut dollars and cents. The complete lack of frustration during use, not having to do flares over again, speed of use, and quality results make this an excellent buy.
