Wondering if anyone has the Eastwood Professional Flaring tool.

Wondering if it works as easily as they say and show.

Pretty spendy, only need it for one job. Trying to justify the cost.

Well...you could always get a set from you local Napa, Sears & Roebuck, Walmart, Kamart or local automotive parts store...Probably run you about $40.00 - $60.00...

I have a Craftsman that I've had for years. Does what it's supposed to do and it's cost was way less.......

webdawg1, that's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? Oh wait, I did.

I have 2 standard flaring kits, one for double 45's and one for bubbles. If you looked at the link and watched the video (or owned one) you would know why I asked the question. This one seems effortless and wanted to know if it really is that simple to use and if it doesn't produce bad flares.

I am considering this because I am replacing all the hard lines in my car and I need to make over 30 flares. This will take me all of about 4 hours just for flares. If I can pay $200 bucks and be done in less than an hour I will do it. Then I will sell it on ebay for $150.

I just want to know if it actually does what they say and as good as they say it does.

Heh John, the product reviews seem positive. Ten good reviews and no negitives. Might be worth the price if you can get with paying that much unless theres an alternative as Blake is pointing out. And yes flipping something on ebay's always easy!

Is there really any reason for you to be an asshole like that?

You asked for options, and he gave you a perfectly legitimate reply. In your original post, you didn't mention how you had to do 30+ flares, so you left pretty much everyone scratching their heads as to why you would try to justify buying a $220 product to do a job you can do with a $30 tool.

Heh John, the product reviews seem positive. Ten good reviews and no negitives.

What would you expect? The reviews are on Eastwoods site.......

This Eastwood flaring tool also does stainless steel tube. Those are always a lot more expensive. The price looks competitive to others I've seen.

Hmmm...you think that is expensive...check out the 007 flaring tool from FedHill...http://store.fedhillusa.com/flaringtools.aspx

About $329.00 - $359.00...depending on which dies you get with it...
