Review on πŸ› οΈ Lisle 33260 Flaring Tool for Professional Grade Flares and Precision Tubing by James Yarbrough

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I wish I had bought these from the start.

Somehow I missed this tool when I was looking for it. I originally bought the Titan brand flare tool just for 3/16 lines. This tool made about 4 good expanders out of the pack and then about 20 deformed expanders that I couldn't use before I had to return it and buy another tool to finish the brake lines. I spent over $50 on this piece of crap and it came with no case, no deburring tool and only a 3/16 line limit. I noticed that this tool didn't have a part that I believe was causing the titanium tool issue, so I decided to give it a try. I got this tool for $62.50. Just the ability to flare 3/16" or 1/4" lines makes it worth it to me. Also, it comes with a case AND a deburring tool. It's child's play for me. Today I finished work with this tool where the titanium tool let me down. Flawless flashes every time. I see that there is feedback on the complaint about the quality of the case it is attached to. This is the case. You don't have to be fancy. It's better to have a quality tool in a cheap box than the other way around. I think it's pretty decent to be honest. Now I can toss this in my tool box and all the pieces will stay together and also prevent the stamps from rubbing off. This tool is worth its asking price. DO NOT BUY A TITANIUM TOOL.
