Best Break Line Tool out there
This tool only does 3/16 tubing, but like most things that only do one thing it does an amazing job of it, makes very nice double/revers flares, very easy too, and it is small and you can use it in tight places, I have a snap on double flare tool,the bar type and it works good too. But I will never use it again for brake line jobs the have 3/16 line, it does need to have some lube on the working end of the punch. I used a little dab of grease and then cleaned it out with break cleaner and a pipe cleaner. I also found and bought this guys brother, you know the one that makes the iso/din bubble flair, it also works great, looks just like this tool, and probably made in the same place, but not Cal-Van brand, i asked and they don't carry the bubble version, so I had to go elsewhere for it. This tool had a great price, but I felt they could have had a lesser shipping cost,. I'm sure it would fit in one of those 5-6 dollar shippers, which would be about 1/3 of what the shipping cost. Other than that the tool works great and worth the money.

Worked Great!
Directions were excellent and the quality of the product is also very good. Way better than those stupid cheap brake line systems. Worth the money for the time saved.

Wow. Finally
A brake line flaring tool that's a no-brainer to use. Replaced the rear brake lines on a rusty 1997 Dodge Caravan without removing the fuel tank. Employed a coil of copper brake line and plastic wire shielding to fish between the fuel tank and frame using floor jacks for lifting, (not much room to work in). The speed and ease of the tool saved many hours of pain and shivering in 30'ish degree air compared to the flare button system that seldom makes a useful flare. Also excellent on steel line, formed with ease using a 6" ratchet & deep well socket. Would like to buy one in a 1/4" size when available or I'll machine one out of necessity! Made 13 flares on the van and 3 on a truck with 4 cj's to re-line, the tool will more than pay for itself in time savings, sore fingers and frustration. Thank You, Cal-Van Tools. Awesome ordering and shipping!

Easy to Use in Tight Places
Works well but grease is required or it won't make good flares. But with a drop of grease on the tool tip it does well every time.
