🔧 Effortless Flaring: Explore the OTC 4503 Stinger Double Flaring Tool Kit Review

I bought this tool to replace the brake hoses on my motor home which were corroded due to age and too much traveling north. Even though it took me over 20 torches to get the job done, I couldn't bring myself to buy a high-end hydraulic tool. However, I also wanted something of decent quality as I knew the project would take several days to complete. All I can say is I am amazed at how easy this tool was and how well the flashes came out. In all my attempts (including some additional ones where…

As this is a low cost flaring tool kit, there are a few things that need to be done to improve the double flaring result.

Quick Tips: - First tighten the FURTHER end of your leash, then tighten the closest one. - Copper linen is easy to make by hand, but steel linen requires more effort. You cannot tighten the mainshaft before expanding it by hand. You can use a wrench or hollow tube to make the…

The product is of poor quality and cheap, you should have known better, I dared to read all the reviews and they are very misleading. This product broke my first try, very disappointing really disappointing part, you have to find out who owns this company to get a spare that you drive in a few laps and in the end you're ready to go back. Each manufacturer or company I have purchased goods from has a contact number so you can get parts and services. There is nothing in this part. You have to do…
