Made up a lot of brake lines with it and so far it is holding up

I've used this a couple of times to repair brake lines on my 2002 Toyota Sienna. It's easy to flare copper nickel lines because they're fairly soft. But, the OEM lines are very hard and covered with a thick plastic. I shaved off a few inches of the plastic and tried to get a good flare. The tool clamps hard, but the tube is pushed away slightly and you can't get a good flare. I marked the tubing just past the tool and could see that it moved. One of the other reviews mentioned using sand paper in the tube slot. I tried 600 grit in the tool on a piece of brake line I had taken off. But, the tube just shifted again. So, I cut a small rectangle of sand paper cloth used for cleaning copper plumbing pipes. I wrapped the brake line with a very small piece of the cloth with the grit on the inside against the brake line. There was just enough sanding cloth to go around the line and not cause too much distortion of the flare tool. On my test piece, it worked and the brake line did not move in the lisle tool. I then used it on the actual line under the van. Again, the line did not shift and I was able to produce a good flare. None of the connections I've made when using this tool have leaked. One of them is over two years old. I've attached a couple of pictures showing the cloth and you can see a tiny piece wrapped around the test piece after flaring. Now, I keep several pieces of the cloth cut into very small pieces in the flare tool case for future projects. This Tool is heavy and solidly built. It is well worth the purchase price if you do your own mechanic work. I'm glad it's the first flare tool I bought. Based on other reviews and my own experience, it's a great tool for a great price.

This tool is very well built , grips the tubing properly without marring the tube. Be sure to follow the included instructions step by step and it will produce factory looking double flares. I used it on 1/4 inch Silver Zinc lines , which seem to be a harder alloy than some other tubing that I have. Be sure to tighten the tubing hold down bolts in stages and very tight, the use the supplied flare adaptor as instructed.

Excelente herramienta, antes usaba el típico avellanador con los adianto para hacer el doble avellanador, creía que salían aceptable pero con esta herramienta no hay fallo, cada avellanador que realizas saldrá perfecto. Tener en cuenta que solo sirve para tuberia 3/16 y 1/4.

Worked perfectly on copper nickel brake line. Requires a 1/2" wrench/socket to tighten. It's a much more sturdy solution than wing nuts, which tend to shear off at the most inopportune times. Greasing the tool's threads and using oil at the press made operation very smooth and easy.I tried and failed to make a good double flare using the Harbor Freight version. This cost me a week's delay in fixing my brake lines, which was definitely not worth the $10 difference in price.

Careful searching and comparison of various flaring tool sets reveals that this is likely the very same plastic case -- in a different color -- and contents sold under the PROTO brand for almost $300. The instructions aren't exactly comprehensive, and the components aren't exactly labelled clearly... but a little practice and thought sort out the bits and how they're used given only a little bit of time.Regular SAE single flares are super easy. Double flares are a little more complex but still straightforward. Metric ISO flares are achieved very easily as well, with proper prep. The only complaint I might have is that the deburring tool has only a screwdriver-style handle instead of a t-handle, but that's a quibbling complaint. Quality is up there. I spent a morning doing SAE simple and Metric ISO flares in a Euro vehicle whose brakes needed a mix to complete a repair, and there were no signs of wear on the tools, no scoring or galling, no binding of the threads.This is a great set. I wish I'd found it years ago. It's far easier to use and far higher quality than another old name-brand hardware store flaring tool set I've used for years.
