 disappointedFeb 15, 2010
By Dan
The swivel is not chromed as in the picture, it is black oxide. The clamp was not able to hold the tubing to produce even a single flare, the "threading" in the tubing clamp(which grips the tubing to hold it) stripped out after a few attempts to flare some tubing. No matter how tight I secured the tubing in the clamp, it would not hold the tubing in place to create a flare.

 Double Flares &uckMar 30, 2012
By Dave Wissel
So you think you can use one of these tools to double flare small brake line? After you use it, you will know why Advance and Autozone sells tons of brake line--cause you'll end up blowing lots of line on bad flares. In the end you WON"T end up with a perfect flare--just a so so lop-sided one if you're lucky. Far better to take your line to a fellow with a pro flare tool and have them do it. The NEXT best is to use a BUBBLE FLARE tool which you can find on Amazon for same price anyway. Many cars actually have BUBBLE flares and NOT double flares and NO...Autozone is WRONG when they tell you a Bubble is a Double. The BUBBLE flares are easier to do and only need ONE flaring operation. The tools are better as the ANVILS are better.
Ok...so now you understand that, I'll tell you how to get as close as possible to a good flare. The problem isn't necessarily the tool--its the slight off alignment of the tube in the vice. If its even slightly off 'square", when you drop the anvil down, it will smash it lop sided. Ok, so here is my trick. Put the tube in the vice first nearly FLUSH with the vice surface and tighten the heck out of the vice. This will straighten it. While there, file it flat to the top. Now move the tube into the proper height for the first flare and chamfer the edge a little. Now flare it. Oh and by the way, the way to tighten the vice is this way: (1) Loosen all screws. (2) Tighten the screw nearest the tube all the way (3) Tighten the far away one all the way. Now it is squeezed in the fulcrum of the vice.

 It did a partial jobOct 26, 2011
By J. F. Vogel
"Road Runner"
I rated this flairing kit 4 stars. I the storing case is excellent..holds the pcs that it takes to flare any size of line . The downside of this kit was the flaring clamp screw. After the second attempt to do a double flair the tip of the flaring screw was ruined. Even with lubricating oil it still failed. Even tho the tip is ruined, I will use the rest of the pieces with another flaring tool I have.
garbageApr 15, 2013
By Y. Hassell-Herndon
this thing is useless on fuel or brake line. Maybe copper line would be ok but steel is to hard. Stainless steel laughs at this tool and calls it a sissy. If you are working on cars this is not the tool you want.
nothing against the company that sold it. showed up next day no problem and as always the return to amazon was painless.
bad anvilFeb 26, 2013
By Another NNY Hunter
Cheapo brake line is harder than metal used to make anvil on this flare tool. vice and dies are nice.
