"This Capri Tools CP21110-316 Double Flaring Tool works great for making SAE double inverted flares on steel lines. However, I had issues with NiCopp tubing. After much trial and error, I found that backing off the tubing slightly improved the results significantly. Overall, it's a great tool!"

"I used this tool on soft brake lines, and it worked great. It makes factory quality flares and is fantastic compared to traditional flare nut tools."

"I've used this tool multiple times and it's fantastic for flaring brake lines. It makes perfect flares and holds the tubing without slipping. I’m really glad I got it!"

"Using this tool was a dream compared to the cheap hand-held ones. It makes double flares in NiCopp without any issues. However, I did have some trouble getting a good seat in the flare on stainless steel due to a damaged mandrel. The mandrels are quite soft, which makes me wonder about their longevity."

"I spent hours researching flaring tools for my 2000 Olds Silhouette. This tool is fantastic! It produces a bubble flare that closely matches the OEM. I had zero leaks when making bubble flares for wheel cylinders. Working in tight spaces was a breeze, and I could replace small sections without hassle. Highly recommend!"

"I rarely write reviews, but this tool is phenomenal! As a semi-professional mechanic, I think every shop should own it. I own a Mastercool hydraulic kit, but I prefer this tool. It delivers perfect flares every time with minimal user error. At this price point, it’s unbeatable!"

"I had to splice a brake line on my 2004 CR-V, which was tricky. This tool worked exceptionally well on the original steel line, creating a solid flare that hasn’t leaked. It's well-built and worth the investment!"

"I bought this tool to make custom fuel lines, and while it might be overkill for my single project, I'm thrilled with its performance. After watching some YouTube tutorials, I practiced on scrap pieces and was able to create great flares by my third or fourth attempt. I'm excited for my next project!"

"This tool is definitely not cheap, but the quality is impressive. It makes perfect flares and is much easier to use than the cheaper options from auto parts stores. I'm glad I invested in a reliable tool for my needs."

"I made a mistake ordering the wrong size, but the refund process was prompt. The package looked complete and seemed like it would do an excellent job."

"I found this tool to be well-made and it holds the tubing tight, making smooth flares. If you stop the handle about 3/4 of the way, it creates a nice bubble flare."

"After a bit of practice, I realized this tool works really well. I did notice a couple of random screws in the box, and the handle tends to fall off, but overall, it seems to be of decent quality."

"Using the DPTOOL Brake Line Flaring Tool Kit was a game-changer for me. I tackled tough factory lines that usually give me a headache. With patience and the right setup, I achieved the perfect flare. It's a must-have for tricky brake line repairs!"

"I bought this tool for a restoration project because I wanted something better than my old hand clamp tool. It definitely delivers! The flares are consistent and repeatable, making my life easier. Also, I recommend getting a deburring tool for the best results."

"I found this master cool hydraulic flaring kit to be phenomenal! It offers so much versatility, making flares, double flares, and bubble flares a breeze. Initially, I struggled with the T-handle not applying enough clamping force, which was quite frustrating. However, I discovered that the T-handle is removable, allowing me to use a 13 mm shallow socket for better torque. Once I did that, the tool worked perfectly! As a DIY guy, I can confidently say that this kit is worth every penny."

"After using this tool, I can confidently say it has been a life-saver for double flaring brake lines. I spent hours wrestling with the old clamp-style flare tool, which only mangled my brake line. Just a couple of test flares on some spare line with this tool, and I was able to get my brakes functioning again. It's absolutely worth the money!"

"I had a great experience using this for my 2004 Sierra 2500HD. After dealing with stripped flare nuts, I didn't want to replace all the lines. I simply cut off the old nut and reflared a new end with this tool, achieving zero leaks the first time! I've struggled with cheaper tools before, but this one made the process seamless. Although it's a bit pricey, it's well worth it for the ease and perfection it provides."
