Review: One of the best investments in the tool box. - Only 5 stars coz desertcart does not have 6! I'm not sure if this tool is an Eastwood relabelled but it doesn't have the inherent problem that some of the Eastwood's tool had with the tube slipping during flaring. Solid clamping! And it has a specific DIN flare die which is slightly different from the half way double flaring, or some call it bubble flare. DIN is the correct metric die for European cars and some Japanese imports. I'm using this tool to remake Porsche 993 front hard lines and all crossover tubes for the OE equipped Brembo calipers. In short, this flaring tool is cheaper and works better than Eastwood's.
Review: Well made and works great - My husband loves this tool

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best investments in the tool box.
*by J***T on November 29, 2020*

Only 5 stars coz Amazon does not have 6!

My husband loves this tool

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You will never go back to twisting that damn "T" handle.
*by A***E on January 27, 2020*

I lost the 3/16" die for my Bluepoint tool, and decided it was time to start making actual bubble flares instead of half double inverted flares. Seeing that this strange lever thing could do that, and without hours of hand cramping twisting exercises, I figured it was worth a try. I live in the rust belt, and replace a lot of brake lines. This thing flares tubing with incredible ease. Just don't put any bends in the last 2.5 inches of the tube until after you flare it, because the blocks that clamp the tube are a little over an inch long, plus your tube nut, but the grip is amazing. It doesn't even mar the finish on poly armor tubing. It would be cool if it came with instructions so you know how deep to set the tubing into the die, but with ten seconds of experimentation, you'll figure it out.
