Best brake line flaring tool?
Mastercool hydraulic is well liked on other forums. Positioning the line stickout in the holder looks fumbly. Also has 37deg dies available for hydraulic hard lines.
Eastwood Hydraulic flare looks very similar, and looks to have an alignment die to set the starting depth.
looking for a buy-it-for-life kind of deal. Anybody used one of these or something else?
Unless you're planning on snapping and replacing brake lines on a regular basis why not just rent one from AutoZone.

Definitely missing the adapters to do a double flare.I have this old set I picked up along the way. Check a used tool store. In Tucson we got Kent’s, maybe a pawn shop. I’ve never used it for brake line, shit, it might be only for water Lines. Dumbass of the moment. View attachment 25409
Why do hard lines when you can get soft lines and fittings for stupid cheap from kartek. Way less time and effort. Measure with a string and order the lengths you need. My truck is all soft lines except for part of the fronts ones since those have been changed/needed to be changed.Best brake line flaring tool?

I was under the impression long runs of soft lines were less than ideal. I'm looking to reroute all the hardlines on the rear axle and replumb the rear proportioning valve so it's a fair amount on length. To me hardlines look pretty tidy.
Certainly long runs of soft rubber tube are non-ideal, but using a PFTE/SS braid there isn't any limit I'm aware of. It's just a hydraulic system.
this. I would worry more about vibration along the frame for soft lines rather than think about expansion. Ideally the short runs, better to eliminate fittings and replace with braided stainless steel. Hard lines for long runs. It's worked for since forever.
yea i got rid of the hard line for the spindle. F that noise.Yes, for the long runs along the frame, rear axle, etc hard lines make sense. A 6" hardline on the spindle though? Or the 6" hard line from the block to the flex line going to the spindle? That's just extra ass-pain, fittings and opportunities to strip a nut.
nice.... those gophers are toastGot a Oxy-Acetelyne porch set, a couple large wrenches, and a few clamps from a buddies dad who is downsizing his construction business. 200 bucks took it all.
