Review on πŸ”§ 4LIFETIMELINES Handheld Brake Line Flaring Tool for 3/16 Lines - 45 SAE Degree Double Flaring - Includes 2 Flaring Dies: Get Precision and Convenience! by Josh Long

Works really well.

I like this torch a lot. I will say it took me 3 times to finally get it right. I've posted before and after pictures of the brake line that I took. The flash looks very good. All you have to do is loosen the two screws on the side of the block. If this is free, simply insert the hose and place it in the recesses. Tighten the bolts and I say make sure you tighten them enough so the brake line doesn't slip when you push it in. There are two different types of hints for this. Loosen the flare screw and make sure the right end is on the screw. Tighten it and then pull the screw back out and slide the tip onto the screw at a 45 degree angle. It is attached to the bottom of the handle for storage. Once this tip is on the screw, tighten it to get a flare. Bolt size 12mm. Again, make sure the flare tip is positioned correctly, otherwise it will expand a lot and split the tube. I only wish it could be made with both 3/16" and 1/4" brake lines. This is really the only downside to this flaring tool. I will say that this flare tool will come in very handy when you make a lot of brake lines. I do industrial service and a lot of copper and steel oil and grease lines that need to be flared and that's where it comes in handy. I highly recommend this flare tool. He does his job very well. I really hope I was able to answer some of your questions about this flare tool. If so, it would be great if you could just click on the helpful icon below. Many Thanks.
