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.

very nice tool indeed

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 -
Expensive, and worth every penny

Review by HIRISC -
I haven't tried to flare a brake line in nearly 30 years and from what I remember, the results back then weren't good.Price Value Quality
Fast forward to my current project. I could take the 'easy' way out and buy pre-flared, pre-cut lines from NAPA, but I didn't like the idea of making a bunch of loops at the ends of my brake lines to allow me to avoid cutting them to length and flaring them.
I read on ffcars.com that this tool was hands down the best one available. It was a little pricey, but making perfect flares is a dead simple process.
The included directions are not great, but the YouTube video is enough to get you going if you stop and think about it for a minute.
Remember that there are two sides to each sized die.. For brakes, you want the 45% (angled) side.. Ensure top and bottom are the same. The other side is JIC (not common).
Rotate the hub to the flat die to line everything up, then rotate to step 1 (3/16 for brakes), pull, then rotate to step 2 and pull again (harder this time).
Done - perfect flares - and no sloppy loops in your line. -
magic tool.

Review by chevman -
Like the others have said, it is a great tool, I have used it only a few times so far but every flare has been perfect. It seems to be made to last as well. The price is high but you get what you pay for I guess.Price Value Quality -
Great tool

Review by ROBERT -
I purchased this tool several months ago when Eastwood offered a one day sale on line for $153.99. What a great tool for this kind of money, it really is worth the full price of $219.99. This tool makes double flares so fast and easy and don't make those ugly grooves next to the flare as those bar type do. The base of this tool is made of cast alumimum and will get damaged in a vise if you don't protect it in some way as you need to clamp it pretty tight. I have no regret in buying this tool,I just love it.Price Value Quality -
Works on stainless
(Posted on 10/29/10)
Review by EDDIE -
This week the shop I work at purchased one of these tools to flare stainless brake lines on 55 Chevy. This tool actually works on stainless which are impossible to do with the cheap wingnut type of tools and is much easier to use. I will probably buy one for my personal tool box at home since I have made hundreds of flares on projects in the past. I agree with the review by Bloose that a set of optional 37* AN dies would make the this tool the ultimate.Price Value Quality -
You need this tool!!!

Review by WillysWagonMan -
After messing around with the "cheaper" double flaring tools the adage "you get what you pay for" rang true once again. This tool makes flaring simple, quick and painless. Even stainless steel lines are easily flared. Don't waste your money on the others if you will be making very many flares.Price Value Quality -
Perfect Flare On The First Try!!!
(Posted on 9/28/10)
Review by CDorsey -
I was replacing every hard line on my F100. After an day of botched flares with my old hand held tool, I decided I would give this Eastwood Tool a try. I was a little shy of the price, but decided that if it worked it would pay for itself on the first job. Boy did it work!!! I cut a few short pieces of tubing and found that it was IMPOSSIBLE to make a BAD flare. I bent, flared and installed every tube on my F100. Then bled the brakes! Not one leak!!! This is one buying decision I have not regretted. Thanks for a great tool Eastwood!Price Value Quality
