Performance Tool W80672 ISO Bubble Flaring Set

Broke on first use

Not sure if the other reviewers just didn't know how to use it but I got nice clean flares on stainless 3/16 first try. Cheapest too.

Had some trouble with some rubber hose connections on a few line for my E34. Needed to get a tool to reflare the end and before sliding on the fuel rated rubber hosing. Went with this kit. Needless to say it worked fantastically. The tool had sufficient clamping pressure to allow the press to form the bubble flare on steel lines. I have no complaints. Will likely be seeing more action as I replace the fuel line over time. Purchase with confidence.

This flaring tool isn’t a standout as far as flaring kits go, but it does the job it’s intended to.Ive used this a few times for flaring hard lines for vehicle repairs and it works great. Clamp the line in the appropriate sized guide, attach the flaring jaws, and spin the bolt into the line. Fairly easy process, and if you’re using it one or twice a year, it’s great.Where it loses some points from me is in the small stuff. You can’t really get the jaws on to the block once it’s clamped, meaning you have to clamp with the jaw’s already on the block which is a bit annoying if you’re doing more than a few lines at once. The wing nuts for the block clamps are kind of small, and you really need to crank them down to hold your line in place. This means using another tool to get them all the way tight, or bruise your fingers like I did, lol. The locking bolts with the wing nuts also seemed to have rougher threads which only added to the problem.Again, this tool does exactly what it’s intended to do, flaring line for compression fittings, and I’ll give it 4 stars for that and it’s value. But, if you’re using it often, you may want to go with a higher quality flaring tool.

Bought this to make water lines for my twin wastegates, works nice, would have liked a case instead of the tray but that's my only complaint.

Brilliant tool. Used it to flare lines on a BMW. Very easy to use.
