TGR Professional Brake Line Flaring Tool- 45 Degree Set - Single, Bubble, and Double Flares

Had no problem right out of the box, quick set up and started making new lines. The flares come out great and pretty quick. Don't waste your money on those cheap clamp flare kits with the wing nuts, they are complete garbage.

First off the tool is heavy duty and looks and feels professional. Mind you I have never double flared a brake line in my entire life with the exception of trying to use a $30 flaring tool kit that would not flare anything. This tool however did a perfect double flare on the first attempt, seriously mind blown 💥. Thought it was beginners luck, did two more in a row and perfect double flares. This toolIs worth every penny, do not waste your money on the $25-50 flaring kits they suck. Tip, search how to flare with the model number of this tool and there is is how to video because the directions are not great. Thank God for Youtube How to videos!

I have used a lot of crappy flaring tools with fragile dies and crummy mechanisms in my time.....this one is by far the best that I have used. The dies are sturdy, and brake pipe is well supported by the arbor. It has plenty of force to make a perfect flare every time. It is more expensive than many other flaring tools, but well worth the extra if you plan to make custom brake lines.

This tool his way easier to use than other low end tools. It is compact and fits nicely in its case. The tool is very stable and performs nicely while clamped into a vise. It changes quickly from one size to another by just swapping out dies and turning the dial. It does not leak.

I used this to put some inverted flares on nickel-copper brake lines, and it worked way better than expected. Faster and easier to use than the junk auto parts store rental kit. Only downside is you can't flare a line attached to the vehicle still. But that wasn't a problem for me since I redid all the lines on my vehicle at once.

This tool is a dream to use compared to the cheap hand-held ones. It makes double flairs in NiCopp without any fuss. It does double flares in SS but I was having trouble getting a good looking seat in the flare. Turns out the mandrel that does the final operation on a double flare was damaged and the finish fairly rough. I think the guide pin part of it is too small. I had to machine it on my lathe to get it to make a smooth finish on my flares. That is when I discovered that the mandrels are dead soft steel. They are not hardened at all. There's no telling how long these will last if you are flaring stainless steel.I think this is a decent value. Made in Taiwan, not China. However the mandrels are soft.If you turn and pull the release pin, where it comes all the way out, you will lose the ball for the detent/stop. A poor design!I think this tool is capable for flaring 3/16" stainless but you need to examine the mandrels and see if they are smooth. The handle is a little short and will really take some effort to do larger than 3/16".Note that it can do a 37° DIN flare on 4.75mm tubing (which is essentially 3/16" size). The rest of the dies are 45°.

I had a stroke and only have the use of 1 hand, I have the MasterCool hand held hydraulic flaring tool, can use on cars, worked great, BUT can’t use it single handed, this tool is the same manufacturer that makes Eastwood’s, they are all the same manufacturer, companies pay to put their labels on it, and on Amazon it’s over 50.00 dollars cheaper and the same tool . It comes with a 1 yr warranty, but the 2 year extended warranty and 3 yr total warranty . . This tool WORKS GREAT ! DEBUR the line and get light grease dip the line in it before flaring, brake cleaner cleans the line after finished WORKS PERFECT ! Never go back to the old way ! !

If you have a whole car/truck to redo and make flair fittings from time to time. You know how hard it is to use the usual tool such a pain . This thing is simple to set up use ,it's fast results are fantastic . Wish would of bought one a long time ago
