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 Flaring tool Don’t tool , perfect flares each time , very well made .
Date published: 2021-11-18
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality and great results! I struggled with Auto Part store loaner flare tools for too long. Anyone that needs to flare one brake line will quickly learn you never need to flare just one! As you begin brake line repairs you will quickly be introduced to more trouble spots. Start to disassemble brake lines and you encounter kinks, twists, damaged lines, tube nuts won't budge, tee's require replacing and so on. The Eastwood Tubing Flaring Tool works so well I can't believe I waited so long to purchase this. It produces repeatable flares effortlessly. As you make your multiple repairs this tool continues to pay dividends! Full disclosure...I always debur the inside and outside of brake tubing, I use a touch of grease, oil, brake fluid (whichever is available) on the end that will be flared and use a tubing cutter to ensure straight and true cuts. I've used this Flaring Tool on copper alloy, coated steal and zinc plated steel brake line tubing in 3/16" & 1/4". I've followed these steps and happy to say I have NOT encountered any issues with the flares or the tool! P.S. I will not be lending this tool to anyone. It will stay with me....I will bring it to a buddy's house to help flare tubing....but I will be leaving with the tool. It's just too valuable to me at this point.

Are there any plans to provide a die for forming GM push to connect fuel and emissions lines? I noticed another higher priced hydraulic tool on your site that did the push to fit ends. I have this tool and the optional 37 degree die - GREAT TOOL

I purchased your pro flare tool and 3/16 stainless kit. I'm getting cracks and tears on the inner part of flare on the last step. I cut with tube cutter, deburred, cleaned, and lubricated. Still cracking at times. Any other tips or suggestions?

Asked by: Agsj1120
Make sure the tubing is cut perfectly square. If it is the Eastwood 3/16" Stainless Steel Kit and the you are Deburring the ID, Chamfering the OD and using some lube on the die face...it should work. if it is splitting the same side of the tube with each flare it may be that the dies aren't completely aligned or the detentes are off.

Just bought the Professional brake tubing flaring tool. It says to use lube when making flares, but it doesn't state what type of lube to use. Your website doesn't have the lube listed. What type of Lube is needed for making Brake lines?

Asked by: 76Firebird
Any type of tool lubricant will work for this.

What is the trick to getting double (or bubble) flares on 3/16 copper/nickel brake lines?  Works great on stainless and 3/8 copper/nickel but no matter what I do I get a ridge/ring behind the flare on 3/16 copper/nickel - deburred, using anti- seize,

Asked by: dave
Brand of the line itself can have a huge effect. Make sure it is off good quality. Other than that your process and steps are all you can do other than being extremely cautious not to over flare. Once ti starts to give you resistance on the handle- release.

I see a lot of negative reviews on this and so far they all mention stainless tubing. I thought I saw in the instructions that it is not designed for Stainless tubing?

Asked by: Smitty
This tool is capable of flaring stainless. However, it usually required a decent bit more force to flare and needs to be properly lubricated and deburred. We also do not recommend flaring lines thicker than .032 wall tubing.
