If you are sick of the $20 kit for doing brake lines, this might be the tool for you!Best way I have made brake lines, that works consistently.Pros:Works consistently every timeDoesn't deform the pipe since the dies are precision pieces that have an excellent fit.Also minimizes scoring on specially coated lines, will minimize anti rust coating being destroyedDoes every type of break flare that I think I will ever need.Has a nice storage case.Everything on the forming head is clearly labeled.Clamp system is adequate and makes the job very quick, put a flare on a piece of pipe inside of 30 seconds with prep work.Doesn't take a lot of effort to form the flares, you can feel it's natural stop point.Built in flushing tool to set the proper depth on the line before locking it down for forming.Cons:Price is a bit much, but it is almost worth it just for the convenience and having a tool that you probably wont break.Cannot do lines on the car, at least I wouldn't recommend to try.You will need to bend and form the line before using the tool and leave about 1.5" to fit the end of the line with a fitting in the die.Other thoughts, you'll want a nice table vice that it mounted to something to use this tool and hold it will pulling the bar to compress and form the flares.Used this to replace the hard lines running to the rear of a 2005 Chevy Impala from the master cylinder on back to where they branch off to the left and right sides. Used Poly-Armour line and a bunch of fittings (different sizes) to get the job done, works great no leaks first time! If you are forming your own brake lines, try and remove them from the car without distorting the natural bends and curves in the pipe. Then straighten out a piece of new brake line and twisty tie it the the old one and every few inches bend and form it to match tying off the done sections, if you do it right it should be perfectly side by side with the piece you are trying to match. It should have little to no gap using this method and keep the straight sections very straight. It beats trying to eyeball bends, lengths, and odd angles that are in some of these lines.The only better tool for the job is the hydraulic flaring tool that they make, but it costs $300+ , but is a much more versatile tool and can do trans, gas, and brake lines.Good luck!
