Review on ARES 18012 Professional Stainless Convenient by Devin Tanner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best investments in a toolbox.

Only 5 stars because Revain doesn't have a 6! I'm not sure if this is Eastwood's renamed tool, but it doesn't have the inherent problem that some Eastwood tools had with pipe slippage during reaming. Strong clamp! And it has a special DIN flare die, which is a little different from the double flare half, or some call it bubble flare. DIN is the correct metric stamp for European vehicles and some Japanese vehicles. I use this tool to convert Porsche 993 front hardlines and all crossover pipes to stock Brembo calipers. In short, this flaring tool is cheaper and more powerful than Eastwood's.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • No insurance
