I've got the Sealey PT/02 version of this tool. The 'original'. (Just got it.) That said, the two halves of the die are a good 1/16" of an inch apart to allow 3/16" pipe to fit in there. Won't that space allow for deformity of the pipe? In other words, as I clamp down on the die, won't the pipe 'squeeze' out or at least weaken in the space between the two dies.
I'm baaaack.... My right rear brake line on my '94 Saturn 230K miles rotted out on two days ago. I'm going to buy a 25' coil of brake line and bend it to shape.
In the past I used those hand flaring tools, with the save aggravation as you described in this video.
I watched this video last year, and mentally cataloged it. I ordered it this evening.
When I'm done with it I may re-bay it. Anyone at your shop want one?
Looks good! But I need a tool that can keep me from forgetting to put the #8@!!/* fitting on BEFORE I flare it!! Lol! Some of my best tubing flares & bends have been made just to realize I forgot to put the fitting on 1st. DOH!!
almost $200? fack that, i'll stick with the $25 setup from auto zone or crappy tire. and i wouldn't need a vice. my flares are perfect everytime, that lopside stuff you talk about is from wornout tools or bad mechanics. cool tool though, it would look good sitting in my mechanics toolbox. he can work his ass off to pay for it
I got one last week and finally used it to make some lines on my T Bucket. This is the real deal, pretty damn quick and it makes a perfect flare each time. Eastwood sells this but they have an ebay store and I got mine for 179 plus 15.95 shipping. A little expensive at first but you get what you paid for. I've broken too many of the old fashioned flaring dies and wanted to get something that was nice and simple.
@MrHvm1985 yeah I hear that alot, no kidding!, but if you need to make a few doz w/ an assembly tool you would want a tool to save you work, wouldn't you?
How much does it cost?

Is such a space normal??? Thanks.

Very nice tool..i got a quick question, i've heard of a single and double flare, but what about a 'bubble flare'... how do you get a 'bubble flare'?
MrHvm1985 1 year ago
still a bit slow (I would like to see the dies somehow built in for true semi-automatic operation)
