Review on OEMTOOLS 27012 Industrial Double Flaring by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not suitable for 3/16 steel lines or possibly other steel lines

Actual 3/16 brake lines on an old Datsun Z 1978 release. Even so, the tool does not have enough power to make even acceptable bells on steel pipe. None of my other hand tools worked either. You will either need a hydraulic flaring tool or buy a complete line with the correct fittings and add enough elbows to get the final length correct. This will probably be fine with copper or some other softer material. For me it was a waste - even though it says steel.

Pros
  • For use on 4.75mm to 10mm diameter tubing
Cons
  • Line is shorter than other picks
