Capri Tools 1/4" Double Flaring Tool

This product is very easy to use and works great!! It has a stop for the lines you are flaring so makes it very easy to line up the tubing. It is really affordable compared to other brands too.

Do not waste your money on the bar clamp style flaring tool, it is meant to do single flares. This tool by capri works excellent. It is the same exact head as the titan tool just a different name. High quality. Works great on steel line. Produces factory double flares on copper nickel and on steel line. Good line preparation with a flat file to remove the rolled in edge on the end from the tubing cutter wheel and then hit the inside with a chamfer tool or a drill bit larger than the line to break the burr and leave a clean edge for the tool to make a real nice double flare.

Prep the tubing correctly and follow the directions and it works great. Tested several double flares on NiCop 1/4" tubing and it produced very good results. Have not tried on non-stainless steel yet, but will update review when I get a chance to test that. Would recommend for NiCop tubing.

Good flaring tool especially for tight places but works great at the bench also. Easy to use.

The Capri Tools ¼” Double Flaring Tool makes a perfect flare every time on ¼” Nickel Copper brake lines! I am upgrading a classic car from drum brakes to disc brakes and needed to build several new brake lines with double flare fittings. I initially borrowed a brake line flaring tool from AutoZone which resulted in every single flare joint leaking brake fluid. I then borrowed another brake line flaring tool from a mechanic friend of mine with the same results. The issue with cheap brake line flaring tools is the variabilities in the flaring process which can result in a poor double flare joint. The Capri Tool eliminates all these variabilities by securely capturing the end of the brake line in the tool so there is no movement in/out, up/down, or left/right. Side 1 of the reversible die makes a perfect single flare, while side 2 creates the double flare. There is no variability in the process because the die has positive stops on each end. I could not be more pleased with this tool. I put my car back together and there is not a single leak (from the brake lines anyway 😊).

After trying to use a cheapo kit, and a cal-van hydrulic in-line kit, both of which were nearly useless, This one helped me in a bind. I replaced some lines and ended up using a friends tool truck kit to do them. But had a couple still on vehicle I needed to redo. This worked well and was easy to use/hard to mess up. I used on Nickel copper, but I believe this may do regular steel without much trouble. Although doing steel on the vehicle might be a challange. The handle could stand to be a little longer/bigger and maybe have a lock button to keep it from twisting loose when tightening/loosening the die. Other than that it was an excellent tool and Im happy to keep and use this again! I do wish they offerd it in a full kit with a deburring and cutting tool, case, and multiple heads. For 1/4" lines, give it a shot. And you can remove handle and put it into a vice for even easier work when doing new lines iff vehicle.

This was a life saver for me on my steel lines that were on my truck. A normal cheaper double flare tool slides and this grips very well. Just make sure to tighten down all the way and strip away any rubber coating to bare metal if you brake lines have it. Very much worth the money and makes building a perfect double flare super easy every single time. Wish I would have found this prior to buying the cheaper tool kit.

Works good! I messed up a few when I first got going. Follow directions is important!
