Review on πŸ”§ TGR Professional Brake Line Flaring Tool - 45 & 37 Degree Set (Single & Double Flares): A Must-Have for Precise Brake Line Flaring by George Woods

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The last torch device you will ever need

Oh my god! What an arsonist! I wasted a good day trying to get a single satisfying double exposure to get the perfect one in minutes. It's so easy it's even fun to make. No more making bad torches, cut them off, keep making bad torches until my leash is too short. Very good tool and well built. I love the fact that it does bubble flashes, single flashes, and double flashes at both 45 and 37 degrees. I sold my uncle three sets of crimping tools for $20 in preparation to receive this and I was not disappointed. I also like that it has a case to keep all the dies in, unlike the Eastwood tool which has a small case and then sells the dies separately. There's room in the case for more matrices, but I don't know what they're going to put in there as it already does everything. I thought about getting a Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool instead, which has a steep factor, but I didn't want to worry about the pump failing for the next 20 years. Yes, I plan to keep this tool forever. The handle of this device is quite long and does not require too much effort. Some people say they can overfill it with Mastercool and damage the bell. With this tool I can tell exactly when to release the lever. One thing though, you need a good vise to hold it properly.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
