Impressive Flaring Tool for Automotive Brake Tasks

This flaring tool exceeded my expectations and made my brake line repairs so much easier. Through trial and error I found that the metric flaring capability was a great addition to the kit. The durable construction of the tool ensured precise flares and provided great leverage. The only downside i could find was the steep price point compared to other flaring tools in the market; however, the quality of the tool justifies the cost. Overall, a must-have for any DIY automotive enthusiast....

Pros
  • Produces precise metric flares for brake lines and other automotive applications.
Cons
  • Requires a good level of skill and experience to use effectively.

Non metric!: Brake Flaring Tools

What I received is not a metric set - it is a standard set that does not fit my application. Very disappointed with this error as I need to get my truck running again. I'm not sure if every such order will be a mistake or my case was an isolated case.

Pros
  • Brake Tools
Cons
  • Available in Black only
