  • Some thoughts on Nickel Copper brake line
Style: Brake Flaring Tool
Everything about this tool is simple and it seems to be exceptionally well made. I bought it to use on nickel copper brake line. As some have mentioned it doesn't seem to work well with nickel copper. I find the same thing to be true. As others mentioned I tried setting the tubing back from the alignment bolt. I tried 1/16" as one review suggested using a1/16th drill bit. Came out terrible and I'd say unusable. Tried half that set back. With this flare I treated it like I would a tap and die. I turned less than an 1/8th of a turn, backed off, and repeated until tight. I also went great lengths to be sure the tubing end was square and well reamed of burr. This still didn't look too great. Then I thought this is nickel copper. It's pretty soft. I removed the bad brake line from the diverter and ran the tubing flare in with original flat nut. Tightened it, then removed it. It looked pretty good. I won't be able to tell of it's functional until I install the brake line and test it under pressure, but I think it's going to work just fine. I will update with the results of that testing. Steel isn't going to form fit like the nickel copper does so the flare probably has to be more precise but a softer metal will firm to a harder metal. I knew about the issues making double flares on the nickel copper but I had to weigh that against the difficulty of running steel brake line. I've run steel before and it's a lot of work making all bends and then running it. Sometimes you can't do it without a lift to get more space under the vehicle. The nickel copper is really easy to bend. With steel I use the old factory brake line as a template to get the bends close to correct. In this case the original brake line was run between the frame and the gas tank. Removing it and running in the same location would require dropping the gas tank or removing the truck bed. The nickel copper will be easy to run on a new path, putting gas line around the tubing for chafe guards at new fastening points. Update: installed nickel copper brake line. Flares were not perfect but having checked with a friend who owns a Audi car repair who related the fact that you never get a flare like a factory flare even with the most expensive flare tool and confirmed my theory that nickel copper would form to the seat, I used the less than perfect flares and... no leaks. The nickel copper line was much, much easier to install. I'm very happy with this tool. BTW, when using the tool chucked up in a vise or was no only easier to use but also made better flares. Next time I think I will get a tubing straightening tool. I find that isn't straight where you are trying to make the flare it exacerbates all the issues making a nice flare. It seems it should be centered on the tool which won't happen if it's bent at all. After installing the brake line I used the tool as best I could to straighten the brake line at the tip because it was obviously not straight. I also used a metal file to even up the end and a reamer to smooth the opening. My advice is don't skimp on the grease either. ... show more

  • Tool is a godsend for amateurs
Style: Brake Flaring Tool
I have never needed to repair a failed brake line until my subaru decided that being a maintenance money pit wasn’t enough. I used a universal kit with the adapters at the start of this job and broke the adapter due to poor alignment. I purchased this tool because it looked easy to use for those who have no idea how much of a pain brake lines can be. This saved me a ton of time. I would recommend anyone looking to attempt this DIY to consider this tool. I just couldn’t spend more money for a shop to do it for me. They can keep the engine work. I’ll attempt the smaller jobs. ... show more

  • Good tool to have in your toolbox
Style: Brake Flaring Tool
Before I purchased this one I Had the vise kind with anvils and clamps.....you would be lucky if the flair didn't leak every time. Don't have that worry with this type of flaring tool. So far has worked great. No problems.

  • Works great. Easy to use.
Style: Brake Flaring Tool
Pros: This tool is easy to use. It makes a perfect flare every time. There is no slippage of the tubing in the clamp. It aligns the end of the tubing, so there’s no guessing. Cons: Only works on one size of tubing. Can’t store the parts together, for example, in the handle. So you need to find a Box to keep it all together. ... show more

  • Accurate flaring but tricky to use
Style: Brake Flaring Tool
I would have liked to give five stars, but the brake fluid dripping from my elbows and running all over the garage floor precludes that rating. First, you must understand that I tried using a rental "flaring kit" from NAPA. Essentially, it was a standard plumbing flaring tool with specialty dies for flaring brake tubing. The 3/16" die had a broken guide pin which allowed the die to wander and off-center the inverted flare. Three of the flares I made failed. My own plumbing flaring tool did no better (no dies). The Titan tool is very accurate and precise. I tested the tool on several scrap brake lines and made perfect inverted flares. When using the tool on practice brake lines it is easy to manipulate the tool and tighten the forming dies; no fluid leaking and no awkward work space to contort into. Flaring brake lines ON the car can be a different story. Limited space, tight access, and leaking fluid can make for a frustrating experience. Brake fluid is extremely slick and the Titan covered with brake fluid is a pain in the ass to hold on to. For a righty like me the tool works best when tube enters from left and tightens with the right hand, especially when the wrench and handle are close enough to squeeze to tighten, which prevents tool from excessive movement (which can bend tube while you try and torque the die). Simple, srtraight-line flares can be easy, as long as you can easily manipulate the tool. In my case the brake line corroded and rusted at the compression fitting and I had to remove the damaged section. Unfortunately the brake line was preformed and ran all the way to the engine compartment. Not wanting to replace the entire line I opted to create a preformed stub to connect the brake line to the brake hose connection using barrel connectors to splice the lines. I learned several important lessons 1) When preforming small stubs you must account for the length of tube inserted into the tool AND the length of the compression nut. 2) Small stubs with a curve must accomodate for the compresion nut. 3) While using the Titan, the die block MUST NOT WIGGLE OR MOVE. Movement will bend the tube and kink it. Once kinked it is near impossible to straighten AND the compression nut will NOT pass over the kink. 4) DRAIN THE BRAKE FLUID. Even if it means priming the master cylinder later, it beats saturating your hands with brake fluid and having it run down your arms and onto the floor, or worse dripping in your face or saturating your clothes. If fluid gets on the Titan tool, good luck trying to hold it while tightening the die, especially if you are working with limited access or playing lefty-righty trying to get good leverage. 5) If you can replace the entire brake line without major disassembly or rust problems, do so. 6) Use the copper-nickle tubing, it is much more forgiving and can be formed by hand. I screwed up several steel lines with my bending tool and then used them for practice. This is where I really came to appreciate item (1) above. There are some great videos about bending and preforming brake lines. I found one that shows how to calculate bends, bending offsets and direction changes (video for techs in training). Well worth watching. ... show more

The Titan tool is good tool, but I needed a tubing straightening tool and a Surseat Mini to finish the flares to prevent leaks.
