Yea the tool is a bit pricy but I say it’s value for money. If you’ve ever had to flare a line and install it only to find the it leaks and you have to do the work over again, you’ll understand why this tool is worth the money. It’s nice to find a quality tool that does what it’s suppose to. So the next time you’re in need of a tool to flare a line, consider this one. I highly recommend it.

I believe foreign cars are starting to use 37 degree flairs now as well…
The new Eastwood resembles the mastercool unit.
😍 I'm in love! This video is 7 years old and I'm just now seeing it 😳
Does a good job on copper only.
One time I was buying some 1/4" steel tubing from Canadian Tire. It was labeled as 4/16".
37° flares are common with AN fittings
Nice tool until you have to do it under a car or in my case a Motor Home that 10" off the ground with everything in your way.
I agree the first set in the video is total crap – for me it doesnt work – the set I have – leaks dangerous there is no way I want to drive a car with brake lines done using a total cheapo crap kit like that hence buy the proper kit 🙂
When using the tubing cutter I have found never go the same direction in turning. It is best to turn than tighten and turn back the way you came. This helps if your tubing cutter is worn or not properly aligned. It will give you a more consistent cut.
EricTheCarGuy, what do you think about this Hydraulic Version from Eastwood? Do you think it might be easier since it doesn't have to be attached to the vice?

My directions that came with the kit says “oil or anti-seize”. Great video by the way. Thanks!

I need this Eastwood brake tube flaring tool
37* is not an, its JIC, used in hydraulics, way before this AN came about. I'm sure guys are using 37* because there are a wide wide wide variety of fittings to choose from. And they are good for at least 3kpsi.

I have been using the Master Cool hydraulic hand tool and it works great. It will do double flare, inverted flare , push connect, metric bubble, and GM transmission. All at a cost of $300.00
Great video, thanks Eric!
Great tool for doing brake lines Eric. But I only do brake lines ocassionally so I use a cheaper one.
Very well explained,, except for what you omitted. For instance why are the dies marked Din on the flat back side, what are they for? Why is one of those Operations 1 marked din, but the rest are not? Why do all the dies have a din marked on the back except the 3/8 die? Good luck getting these answers from Eastwood,, i tried.
MOVE THE TUBE AROUND THE BRAKE LINE PLIERS, take Advantage of the curve built into the tool.
I just did my whole brake line to both rear tires. I am using the crappy tool that Eric wants to give to a friend he doesn't like. I can see why since all my Flares, except one, leaks.
Wrong!
Please watch Easwood's video, the tool manufacturer video.
To make bubble flare you need to use square end of the dye, not the 45° degree end. In addition you are supposed to use different OP dye.
I watched ECG's video then made a line, now I have to re-do the job and line is already on the vehicle.
Great job Eric, thanks
that is so funny, the other tool in RED box is also a harbor freight THROW IN GARBAGE thing!
Measure line size with dial caliper. EVERYONE should have one of those, haha. Thanks for the vid! Great tool.
Hi Eric – you should review the Trident flare tool. It's very consistent, cheap and can be used in situ. I think they're available in the USA – sold by AB Tools-Bond apparently.
