Eastwood Flaring Tool, is it WORTH IT?

[@rodschweiger4195]

I bought one of these and used it to do all the fuel lines brake lines and auto trans lines on my 32 highboy roadster without a single leak. I highly recommend it.

Glad to hear it!

[@rantsfromtheroad2055]

And there you have it! I also have this exact flaring tool and I concur with Rod. Not cheap, but worth every penny,

[@tjakr3869]

Second time I have seen someone use it. Have not watched video yet but bet you like it.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Maybe? Watch it and find out! Lol

[@tjakr3869]

@@WiredCustomsSpeedShop I watched it. The tool is good makes me want to do some brake lines.

[@michaelnewbury7869]

I have one and I agree, it works great.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Me too, they have some good paints

Zach does excellent videos

Thanks Chuck!

[@Bigskyguy56]

I also have 1 of these & agree it is a great tool to own. OP = OPERATION Rick

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Thanks Rick!

[@greezyzgurage]

I like the old school method!

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Next time you come over I’ll make you use it and you’ll change your mind! Haha

[@MrMrhp350x]

Do you make your fuel line with 45 degree or 37 degree flares?

[@slick-px4pq]

That's way easier than fumbling with the old style junk. It is spendy though. I also use nicopp lines but I wonder how well it would work with stainless. I don't waste my time with regular steel lines here in Minnesota.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

I’m not sure, it seems like it has good leverage, I would imagine with some lubricant it shouldn’t be too bad

[@mybluebelly]

Can you get metric dies with this tool?

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

I’m sure you can

[@mybluebelly]

What makes U so sure?​@@WiredCustomsSpeedShop

[@macho4x4warlock98]

Doesn’t Eastwood recommend using a flaring lubricant. It’s to help in double flare & keeping the flaring size tool for wear control.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

They might, I didn’t see that anywhere. I’ll have to look into it, thanks for the heads up

[@rogermiller8262]

OP might be orientation position?

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

That sounds right to me

[@trenzmeister]

i like no teeth marks

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Same here. I didn’t realize it until you said that but the brake like is pretty smooth actually
