Review on A Complete Adapter Set for ARES 18019 Double Flaring Tool - Perfect for Copper, Aluminum, Soft Steel Brake Line, and Brass Tubing by Douglas Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Directions are not included.

Used for 3/16 brake line on 1996 s10. Works well if you are looking for Double Flaring Tool guides online. Not the most accurate tool, but it does an excellent job of keeping it centered and deburring the cutting line. The depth is measured with the supplied round matrices. With the correct size die resting on the clamp, adjust the line level. Set the line to the level of the first step of the cube (the largest side). Place the cord in the clip with the notched (notched) side of the clip facing the side you want the bell on. Came up with an extra 3/16 cube which I ended up blocking by putting too much force on the first bell. Don't use too much force, just enough for a decent fit.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Some problems
