this is a straight forward tool which works well and does what it should, meaning neat easy flares every time. Its easy to handle, and a useful must have for the home restorer who has the need to make custom bits and bobs.

Follow the instructions, it is really as simple to use as that. You will also need a pipe cutter as the edge has to be straight, a 16mm spanner and a 10mm spanner. Works on steel and copper without a fuss. You simply assemble the tool, insert the pipe to the stop, gently clamp the pipe, screw the stop all the way in, fully clamp the pipe and screw in the die. The tool is well made and robust, I have probably done about 100 flares with mine and it works as good as new.

Makes making brake lines a breeze. I previously had one of those cheapo made in China kits that came in a red case, pretty inferior to this tool. Ive also had use of a hydraulic bench kit, which is ok but even still i find this tool quicker and easier to use, so much so it makes flaring brakes lines enjoyable, wheres before i used to hate doing the job. Great tool, easy to use and would recommended it to anyone.
