Works well for me: Brake Flare Tools

I've had this for a while and so far it's impressed me. It's a bit fiddly to use, but if you're careful it produces decent (but not perfect) highlights. So far I've only done double highlights with it, but it's pretty easy. To use this you will need a few other tools which are not included: - A heavy duty vise to clamp. I've tried without flare them and had a pretty horrible experience with them - A good set of metal files to bevel the pipe and clean up the end result. - A good accurate 13mmโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brake Tool
Cons
  • No Power

Great sentence! Fits Tools & Equipment

A careful search and comparison of different sets of flare tools shows that this is probably the same plastic case but in a different colour, and the contents are sold under the PROTO brand for almost $300. . The instructions aren't exactly exhaustive, and the components aren't exactly clearly labeled. but with a little practice and thought to sort out the details and their uses, little time is given. Conventional SAE single flares are very simple. Double flashes are a bit more complicated, but
