Easy to use Turret-Style Design

The "turret-style" design of this Eastwood double flaring tool allows you to make precision flares in minimal time. All the brake-flaring forming dies you need are mounted right on the turret. There's no fumbling for small parts and no worry about missing dies. All you have to do is rotate the die head to the line size you need to flare, add the die and then use the lever handle to bend the line. A T-handle screw clamp securely holds your line in place during forming.

Each Tool Manufactured with the Highest Quality

Every Eastwood Pro Flaring Tool is inspected and tested before it's shipped to you! The factory does a test operation using 3/16-inch brake line on each tool. When you receive your flaring tool, you will find a piece of brake line left in the installed block showing this has been done. This ensures that every tool manufactured meets Eastwood's high quality standards. Compare our flaring tool 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 tubing flare kit. It's a professional-grade tool at a do-it-yourself price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stainless Brake Line flaring. I am very satisfied with this high quality tool. It securely holds the lines in place while flaring. I am less than satisfied with the instructions that came with it. The instructions only cover steel lines, I purchased this tool for Stainless lines. This took a lot of trial and error.

Questions & Answers

Does this flaring tool work with the nickel copper brake lines without slippage

Asked by: Ed 68
Copper Nickel Tubing can vary greatly in quality from manufacturer to manufacturer. Low end Copper Nickel tubing can crack, deform, and not flare properly in some applications. Eastwood recommends BrakeQuip’s Copper Nickel (EW#30769) tubing for use with this tool. If you are experiencing issue flaring copper nickel tubing with this tool, but not other materials, the tubing is likely the issue. Always make sure the tubing is cut square with a tubing cutter, the end is burr free inside and out, and a lubricant is used on the end of the tubing when flaring.

I have been trying to double flare a piece of 3/16 tubing but the tubing slides from under the die. I have tightened it as tight as possible but it still sightly slips. Please advise me of a solution to the problem. Thank you.

Asked by: Big Block
The tube and dies should be as clean as possible. If flaring factory stainless steel line, it is difficult with any manual flare kit.

8mm and 5/16" are very close. Will this do both sizes?

Asked by: JohnnyNapalm
These can only be used for the direct size listed for. You do not want there to be any play/room in the dies or it will not yield desirable results.

Does this tool (25304 flaring tool) work with newer PVF coated 3/16 brake line? If so, does the PVF need to be stripped off the line to use the tool?

Asked by: 51 Chevy
If using PVF coated brake lines we recommend stripping the coating on areas where you will be flaring.
