Review - Rigid Flare Kit #345

Here we take a look at an excellent tube flaring kit from Rigid. I have used this tool for several years and find that it is best and easiest flare tool that I have tried. The video review includes a demonstration of how to use the kit to make your own double lap flare on 3/16" brake line. The tool works well for larger lines (fuel, A/C) as well.

Too Many Parts aims to provide viewers with brief reviews and how to demos presenting tools and machines of interest to the home machinist, mechanic and hobbyist. The demonstrations and opinions are based on equipment and machinery we bought and use in our home garage workshop to restore cars, build electric vehicles (EVs) and do general machining of metals (steel, aluminum and brass) and plastics (including urethane). We try to show you the good and bad features and present the pros and cons so that you can make an informed decision about what brand or model to buy and where to get it, hopefully at the best price.
