Very good at explaining.Great job.

I've used this Eastwood tool extensively, I would recommend it to anyone doing more than a few lines a year. Switching to cupro-nickel lines made my life 10 times easier. I'm never going back to steel if I can help it.

[@Vegasman77704]

your video was amazing and your pace is superb

[@AndrewOtwellMusic]

Many thanks for posting this and great job with the speaking part; no um and uh pauses. It went well with my morning coffee and convinced me to buy a 45 deg kit to augment my 37 deg kit; both rated for SS.

My dad and I tried to flare our own lines once...our kit was horrible and didn't work at all, this one looks wayyy better

[@dricklorenz9340]

Using a quality tool makes that look fun.

[@ObesePuppies]

These videos are full with information and very detailed.. Just amazing!

Boy that is some flaring tool, the one a have is very hard to tighten down to make the flare, keeps slipping down in the holder great video!!!

[@YaksAttack]

When my dad taught me how to flare lines, he always said to double flare because a lot of times when he sees people single flare their high pressure lines they end up failing and leaking.

I like that tool. I have a couple of those cheaper ones ye see at the parts store, work good on aluminum and good enough on steel. They don't work very well on stainless. Thank goodness for Copper-Nickle Lines. I guess that tool works well on Stainless?

[@mobiledevto]

Can you list the parts and/or where to buy. My parts store flaring tool isnt as nice as this one.

[@MrEyad1990]
