I've worked on cars for more than 40 years, and done a fair share of brake lines including flares. I have an old classic Rigid flaring tool which I mistook as not having 3/16", I thought it only had down to 1/4", but needed to do some 3/16" flares.So I bought this Wostore with the idea I didn't need another more expensive flaring tool for the long haul, just to do a couple of these 3/16" flares on this project. I regret the purchase. . This tool is very bad. After failing 4 tries to get one good flare working on a line under the car, I took it into the shop and tried using a vice on a scrap piece of tubing. still, no good. I would not recommend this Wostore. period. Piece of junk. it is near impossible to get the surfaces of the clamping bar lined up flush, and it seems like either the casting that the cone head/screw is mounted into is crooked or the tapped hole is crooked, affecting the alignment of the cone/screw. And the swivel of the cone on the screw didn't correct the problem. I could not for the life of me get the tool to push the die straight in, and every flare was crooked.Then I got out the old Rigid, and had a Duh moment realizing that the size markings were not next to the actual holes. The 3/16" marking is a bit obscure, and 1/4" marking right next to the 3/16" hole. Points off to Rigid for this, but first try, success.
