Cool

Tom,
I've never seen a "portable" flaring tool that did much of a job. Of course, most folks couldn't justify the professional type machines, and all the fixtures that go with it, but that's really the only safe, proper way to do it. After all, we are talking brake lines here...not something to cut corners on. Could you buy the closest length, and do some creative bending and forming, as to "use up" any extra?

How about it, anybody use a portable flaring tool that works properly? I've yet to see one.

Dave

P.S. I would NEVER recommend a single flair for brake lines!
