There are two types of brake line flares: 37 degree and 45 degree. 37 degree flares are the most common and are used on most cars and trucks. 45 degree flares are used on some high performance vehicles.
Compression fittings are not recommended for use on brake lines. The high pressure in the brake system can cause the fittings to leak. If you must use compression fittings, be sure to use double flare fittings that meet SAE specifications.
Teflon tape is often used on flare fittings to help create a seal. The tape helps to fill any gaps and prevent leaks.
There are three types of brake line flares: single, double, and bubble. Single flares are the most common and are used on most cars and trucks. Double flares are used on some trucks and SUVs. Bubble flares are used on some European cars.

The product's quality and the level of flare it produces are unbelievable. With the "clamp thing" that uses wing nuts, I've used a lot of lower- and mid-range flaring tools. All of them left lines and crimp marks on the line, and some of the ends even came out with an uneven appearance. Also while utilizing stainless steel lines, I have even witnessed brake lines slipping in clamps.This tool barely left any scars on the tube, had a very lengthy clamping region that didn't need "teeth" to keep the line from slipping even with stainless, and the flare turned out well. This one's stop bolt eliminates all uncertainty over "measuring how much of the line should be sticking out."Another thing I noted was that, despite its small size, it seems to be made of forged steel because there are no obvious casting flaws. Additionally, it includes some fine grade 12.9 "really rated" bolts for clamping, so you won't have to worry about gauling the threads or the steel block. As you have to crank down on these, use some of the lubrication that is supplied with it. You might also want to use a little washer to increase the lifespan of the device. The forming tip appears to be made of a high-quality hardened steel because it threads in incredibly smoothly and its threads didn't become completely worn after only one use as I've seen on other forming tips.This item is also highly ergonomic because it perfectly complements the handle and makes it simpler to fix a line on a car or if a vice is not available. The most effective tool for performing brakes occasionally so you won't need to spend $2–300 on a professional one to obtain excellent results.

I spent a lot of time using various garbage flaring programs, but I only managed to cause constant leaks and eventually destroy my new lines to the point that I had to buy new ones. I considered the Eastwood and other less expensive, comparable flaring tools, but you have to install them in a vice. I really felt that having a tool that could be used with a line that is placed on the car was a major advantage, even though I didn't want to spend this much money on a flaring tool.With this tool, I produced numerous flares in both steel and copper for 3/16" brake line. Every single one of them was flawless and had no leaks, not even one in a line on the car. With this tool, you can make flares in about a minute. Additionally, there is no force needed to activate the hydraulic action.It was difficult for me to justify spending this much money on a flare tool because I'm not a skilled technician. I'm pleased I did, though. I was under my older truck last weekend, and I can already tell that I'll soon need to replace more than just the brake lines—possibly even the gearbox cooler and/or the gasoline. So, there will definitely be a payoff.

To flare the copper line set that was included with my Pioneer WYS012 micro split air conditioner, I bought this tool. This tool flared the 1/2" and 1/4" lines in the line set more effectively than the original flares did. I am quite happy with how well this tool works and how well the money was spent. As always, investing a little bit more in a quality tool results in greater outcomes with less frustration. I've never been let down by a RIDGID product.

highest value for your money. I'm a student who needs an affordable HVAC course tool. These are definitely worth the cost. I brought mine to class, and after that, other classmates asked me to order a set for them as well. Which I did, and every set is operating well. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a package that is reasonably priced and would help them get paid.

I finally gave up on my Harbor Freight flaring tool and bought this one. It was a wise choice because this one flared tubing perfectly. I have no idea what other reviewers are doing incorrectly because I have never experienced any off-center flares or other issues. I think other reviewers' negative ratings were the result of an operator error. Simply put, this is a quality tool in an attractive packaging. Even the box performs better than anticipated because it contains real hinge pins rather than cheap plastic that finally fails after repeated opening and closing. The fact that this includes components for performing bubble flares and double flares is a bonus; although it cost a little more, you no longer need to purchase additional items for your flaring requirements. Don't hesitate; you won't regret it.

The shipping business encountered some road delays. I couldn't wait for the shipping issue to be resolved because I had a long weekend available to replace my brake lines.At NAPA, I purchased a more expensive set. I decided to return this one.I perseverantly came up with many double flares while channeling my inner Popeye. The NAPA set eventually started to show signs of stress cracking at one eye.I eventually only had to return the locally bought furniture.This set had arrived by this point.Better set DAY and NIGHT.There are finer threads. Popeye isn't quite as necessary for you.Given that I was new to double flares and had gained expertise and established a little bit of a system, the flares appeared to come out cleaner.It was simpler to move from one process to another.This item appears to be made of better materials, is better designed, and didn't break.The tube cutter is inferior to all of my Rigid cutters. I finally used one of mine.I discovered that it is frequently said that tube ends must be squarely cut, de-blurred on the interior of the tube, and beveled both inside and out.With any of the tube cutters, cutting squarely ought to be simple.If you're not used to double flares, practice. But a crooked flare might not be the result of an irregular cut. If your outside bevel (I filed mine) is not even all the way around, I think you can still achieve the same outcome. I don't believe you can force a tube end with a thicker wall section to be square during the flaring process after it has been beveled. simply too much informationAs you bevel the exterior, pay attention to the end thickness. Get everything as evenly distributed as you can. then bevel or deburr the interior.Great bargain for a great bundle. Nicely done.a definite winner.Even my truck now stops!

Its clamp performs a good job of gripping the brake line, especially if the clamp leg is secured in a bench vice. Good enough to get the job done. However, to produce flares that are appropriately centered and formed, one must use precise skill with the screw-down anvil presses that are typical of this type. Since this kind of flaring instrument doesn't come with instructions, YouTube is your friend for instructional videos. Before committing to flaring on the real components, use all the help recommendations that are accessible, take no quick cuts, and practice a few flares on spare brakeline. With each tightening round, you must pay great attention to the wobbly/swiveling anvil cone used in this design to make sure it stays straight and aligned while compressing the brakeline into the clamp. (If the anvil started to lean during a compression, I used a flat screwdriver to lever it back to square.) A sure-thing, trustworthy hydraulic design would be my first choice if I planned to flare brakelines frequently, but for occasional use, this one will do for a small outlay of only $.

The hardest tubing to double flare is 3/16 inch. As long as the tube is exactly straight when it passes through the die, this instrument works wonderfully. The inside of the tube must be deburred and the tube end must be cut squarely. When the tube is crushed, the die will force it to one side if it is crooked or not cut squarely. Even with more expensive tools of this kind, this is true. Other, more forgiving instruments exist, but they are more expensive and have distinct designs.

When followed as instructed, works really well. A kit similar to this one has been in use by me for more than 40 years. The first brake line made solely of steel at an auto repair shop. We double flare the line after cutting it to the right length. I don't recall ever having a problem with leaks at WE. This art is just like that one. Deburr your tube from the inside out. Make sure your tube clamp bar is not too tight. The tube will become egg-shaped as a result, giving you a poor flare. Make sure the tube is cut straight; otherwise, an off-center flare will result. For me, this kit works pretty well. I utilized two more kits such as this one. Deburr, keep it straight, and don't overtighten the clamp. Spend some time making sure your tube is straight by placing it at the top of the tube clamp bar. If not, you may have to pay $200 or more for a rotating one. I always buy bags of fittings and rolls of brake line even though I've never utilized one.

Get this tool if you simply need a tool to do an inverted or double flare on 3/16 line, the most popular line gauge for US and Asian autos. It is more user-friendly and less expensive than the cheap bar clamp kits that come with half a dozen line diameters you'll never use. As a result, if, like me, you need to replace the rusted out ends of your coated brake lines, you can do it right there without having to remove the lines because it is more compact and can fit in areas they can't.The only thing I can suggest is to make sure the main shaft is screwed on straight. It can be simple to crossthread because the block is divided and only half threaded, especially if you're working at an odd angle. Given that the inner screw is dialed out so it doesn't make touch with the line or die inside before bottoming out, it should screw on flush to the base with little resistance when threaded properly. I would also consider the depth suggestion on the die piece to be a minimum depth, as have others. It will work, but to offer a little more flair, you might want to err on the side of being a little bit longer.
There are three types of flares: solar, terrestrial, and subsurface. Solar flares are caused by the sun's magnetic field interacting with the plasma in the sun's atmosphere. Terrestrial flares are caused by the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with plasma in the Earth's atmosphere. Subsurface flares are caused by the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with plasma in the Earth's interior.
There are four main types of flaring: 1. Administrative flaring: This type of flaring is carried out to relieve pressure in a gas system, or to dispose of gas that cannot be used or transported. 2. Technical flaring: Technical flaring is carried out during the start-up, shutdown, or maintenance of a gas facility. 3. Emergency flaring: This type of flaring is carried out in response to an unexpected event, such as a power outage, that affects the operation of a gas facility. 4. Planned fl
There are a few different ways to flares tubes, but the most common and most effective method is to use a flaring tool. A flaring tool is a small, hand-held device that is used to create a small, flared opening at the end of a tube. There are a few different types of flaring tools, but the most common and most effective type is the double-ended flaring tool. This type of flaring tool has two flared ends that are used to create a small, flared opening at the end of a tube. The double-ended flaring tool is
There are many different types of flaring tools on the market. Some are designed for specific types of flares, while others are more versatile. Here are some of the most common types of flaring tools: 1. Manual flaring tools: These tools are operated by hand, and are typically used for small-diameter tubing. 2. Hydraulic flaring tools: These tools use hydraulic pressure to create the flare, and are often used for larger-diameter tubing. 3. Pneumatic flaring tools: These tools use compressed air to create the
There are many types of flaring tools available on the market, but the two most common are the double-end flaring tool and the single-end flaring tool. The double-end flaring tool is designed for use with two different sizes of tubing, while the single-end flaring tool is only meant for use with one size of tubing. Both types of flaring tools are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different diameters of tubing. When choosing a flaring tool, it is important to select the correct size for the tubing being used.
A double flaring tool is used to flare the end of a piece of tubing so that it can be connected to another piece of tubing or a fitting.
