Professional Flare Tool

The Professional Flare Tool from Eastwood. Anyone spend the bucks on one of these? How well does it work? It was 300.00 last year when I first saw it. I've got 3 cars to do lines on this year and was thinking about biting the bullet and ordering one. I'm looking to do stainless steel lines as well.

My dad bought a generic one at autozone and used it on his truck. He hasn't had a problem yet.

unless you are bubble flaring, the "economy" tool form auto zone works fine.
plus it's more flexible cause it doesn't need to be in a vise.

I use a simple Blue Point set up, and a separate bender. Having it all tied together would make it more cumbersome and impossible to get in small spaces. Keep it simple, it works better that way.
