Mastercool 72485-PRC Silver/Blue Universal Hydraulic Flaring Tool Set (3/8"&1/2" Transmission Cooling Line Die/Adapter Sets Plus Tube Cutter)

I have tried multiple manual flare tools and spent hundreds of dollars in the process of finding a tool that was easy to use and could produce consistent reliable flares. Until now I have not had luck. I'm just not good at flaring any kind of line...I don't do it every day so I fall out of practice and it takes a lot of time to get the perfect flare. Woth this tool right out of the box with no practice I was able to make quick connect fuel lines to add a ethenol content sensor to a customer's fuel system and repair multiple brake lines on a Gm vehicle and the same day make a fuel quick connect for bmw fuel pump. And bubble flares for the same car. Super easy and more importantly...consistent. cannot reccomend enough!

Easy to use. Perfect flares if set up correctly.

The quality of this kit is outstanding. It works better that anything I have ever used before. My only complaint is that there is no room in the blow-molded case for the additional dies I purchased, so now they have to be stored separately and that just screws with my tool OCD! Otherwise, these tools rock!

Made good flares in 3/16" and 1/4" Copper Nickel and Steel brake lines so far. Awkward laying under the vehicle holding dies in place and getting the end of the tubing lined up. I also got a 4 Lifetimes hydraulic flaring tool hoping it would work better under vehicle but so far I haven't been able to get it to make a good flares in 3/16" Copper Nickel or Steel brake lines. 4 Lifetimes head is lower profile, guide pins in die halves, magnets to hold die halves in head, piston attachment to make tubing flush with the end of the die, head detaches from piston assembly looked like 4 Lifetimes advantages but so far can't get 4 Lifetimes to make a good flare. Master Cool dies are shorter if you don't have a lot of length to work with on the end of the tube and have gripping ridges inside them. 4 Lifetimes dies are longer (so I couldn't use with short distance between bend and end of tube) and are smooth inside.

It a great tool

nice but can't fit it in tight areas

I have always wanted a real flaring tool and I have finally found one. it's not cheap but it's a real value compared to the same one sold Else Ware and its solid and will last a lifetime.

I wish I had this tool 20yrs ago. I futzed and fumbled with the old style flaring tools for far too long. This thing makes factory perfect tube flares every time. From soft copper to hard stainless, it does it all.

Awesome tool, wish I purchased it earlier. Makes brake line replacement a lot easier, and faster. Not a cheap tool, but anyone in the trade knows good tools don't always come cheap. Worth the buy if you get suckered in to doing brake lines all the time .

Bought for hubby. He is in love. Not top quality but price reflects that. A friend at work has it and has been using several months constantly without any complaints. ....before u email company saying parts are missing- look in instruction hole in the box- 2 pcs were loose in there- jiggl3d loose during transit.

Christmas gift great product

works great, just as advertised for those hard to get at lines

I purchase it a few years ago and i could say that i love it, i am tech at Hyundai and I used it maybe over 200 times and still working like a new
