Hydraulic flaring tool for fittings

[LGAFF]

I think with some practice I can do better, plus prepping the tubing. But these are functional and fit very well

Lee.........Seems to me you do not need any more practice....those fittings you made would work perfectly

Actually.....Lee........we now know where to get those hard to find Push Connect Flare fittings for the Plenum

Correct, they are a tight fit alittle Loctite and they would be good to go

I bought this same tool from Snap-On a few months back. At first it didn't seem that easy to use, but after I got familiar with the dies and the procedure it was a breeze to use! I wish I had this years ago.

As for doing stainless lines, I was on a drag racing forum and the guys were talking about this same tool making stainless lines. Some said they couldn't make them and some said they had no problem. I haven't tried to make any yet but I think if you take your time it can be done, this tool has got to make it easier.

My brake line that runs along my fuel tank shows some surface rust so maybe I'll give it a try in stainless this coming year

Also I bought this on sale from my Snap-On dealer which we all know isn't much of a deal most time but I didn't spend anywhere near the price Eastwood gets. I would shop around a bit first. Definitely a great tool...jimmy
