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.

I do a lot of custom brake line work and couldnt be more excited about how easy this tool made the dbl flares and how quick it was to use. Best buy ever.

I build resto-mods and street rods so pre-bent lines are not always available. This flaring tool is absolutely the best money can buy. I cut the end off an new pre-bent line, flared it with the new flaring tool and showed it to several of my car buddies. None of them could tell which was the factory flare and which was the flare I made. Quality build, easy to use and twice as quick as the old vice and wrench style flare tool.

This item is fairly expensive, especially if you need it for small jobs, but when you factor in finding a good flaring shop, gas money or shipping costs to send in a brake line, etc., you're still better off to buy this tool. Works like a professional machine shop tool. No problems, no worries, just a job done quickly and correctly. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I usually don't get too excited about a new tool but with this new Brake Tubing Flaring tool, how can I not! As a hooby I build Factory Five component cars and I like to make up the brake lines to better suit my build. In the past I have used the old standard flaring tool. Never again! The Eastwood professional flaring tool is just too easy to use and it makes the nicest flares. Don't let the initial price scare you away it IS worth the money. You will save so much time with this tool and have confidence in your work.

OK, this tool is probably more expensive than it should be. However, that being said it is a great tool that is very well made. This is one of those few tools that works exactly as it says it will. I'm restoring a 1951 Willys CJ3A and had to make up a new fuel line with doubl 45 degree flares on each end. Within 10 minutes of unpacking this tool, I had the tubing cut, flared on both ends and bent to shape! It actually took more time to unpack and get rid of the packing material than it did to use.
Even my father, a long time tool fanatic, was impressed by this tool. If you are a gearhead and make a lot of your own brake, fuel, or vacuum lines for your projects, this tool will pay for itself. If you don't make your own lines, buy this tool and Easwoods tubing bender and save even more money!
Great tool!

I just got done replacing all of the hard lines on my '92 Wrangler. I've never done this before. This tool made me look like a pro getting this job done. The old brake lines came out and new ones went in without one defective flare. The machine made quick work of it too. I am totally satisfied with how this tool has functioned for me.

I struggled for years trying to make decent double and bubble flares with multiple tools/kits. I finally bit the bullet and spent the money to get this Eastwood tool. OMG. It works, simple to use, and makes perfect flares both double and bubble flares. Now I feel bad about the time and money wasted trying to make flares with inferior tools. Happily none of my old flares failed on our race cars. But now that concern is gone as this tool makes flares in my shop as good as any found on jobber shop lines or manufactured cars. Takes longer to mount the tool in the vice than it does to make an outstanding flare. If you produce your own brake lines, this tool is a must have.

I have only made one flare with it but I thought I would rather pay for the tool than one set of preformed and preflared brake lines. I bought a hard line with flare nuts and flares on each end but one flare nut didn't fit and the length was not right (prop. valve up to MC). so I cut the line, slid on the old flare nut and put it in the new tool. At first I did not clamp it down tight enough and the line moved when I tried to flare it. Next time I tightened the clamp a little firmer (did not want to strip the threads of a $200+ tool) and it worked perfectly. I was careful to know where the end of travel was on the lever (its about 135 deg from start). Again, did not want to screw up an expensive new tool. but it worked perfectly. I lubed the dies before flaring. It says to use antiseize but it cakes up, I used light oil. the flare did not leak and looked like factory. I got it 10% off and had returned a flaring tool to a competitor that no matter what the line would slide through the clamp.
