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.

Nice Tool

Review by Tim -
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.Price Value Quality
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. -

Review by Smity -
Well I must say, this is the best tool I have ever seen. I did my 1st flare today and wow! I could never make a good double flare with other tools that I have and with this one, the very 1st try was perfect. We do brake lines at work and I'm going to bring in my flare to our QC and show him my flare from my home tool.Value Quality Price
Thanks Eastwood for a great product!

Excellent tool

Review by Jon -
I tried several of the lower priced double flaring tools that clamp onto the tubing using soft galvanized dies with little serrated teeth and was never able to find one that would hold 3/8 steel fuel line tight enough to successfully form a double flare. Additionally, the little serrations always bite into the tubing leaving nasty little grooves behind. The smooth hardened steel dies on this tool easily hold the tubing during all flaring operations without damaging or deforming the tube. Definitely worth the money, makes perfect flares every time with very little setup time and prep work.Value Quality Price
Only downside to this tool is that it must be used in a vise (it takes too much force to turn the handle for the tool to be used on the vehicle) whereas some of the more expensive hydraulic tools look like they can be used closer to your project. This is one of highest quality and most well thought out tools I have seen in a long time, the tool is a pleasure to use. -
Great Tool But a Little Pricey
(Posted on 3/7/10)
Review by Stewart -
While a little bit pricey, this tool makes up for the cost through the elimination of frustration and bad flares. Easy to use and almost idiot proof, I was able to make better flares without even reading the instructions than I ever have before.Price Value Quality -
Great tool, but needs better instructions
(Posted on 2/23/10)
Review by ROBY -
I was surprised, when my new tool arrived, there were no instructions with it. BUT Eastwood responded quickly and e-mailed me a set of instructions immediately. Great going guys!!!Price Value Quality
BUT I was then surprised that the tool didn't come with any information on the types of flares it made and when each would (could) be used. It isn't rocket science, but a little help for novices would be truly appreciated. -
superior tool

Review by mac -
I am building a Clubman kit car, and doing my own brake and fuel lines. This tool produced first rate flares. It has a solid, well-made feel to it, and was much cheaper to buy than its English equivalent. I expect to use it on my next kit car project, probably a Shelby Cobra.Price Value Quality
