Hello everyone,
I have some other cars that I work on and I am redoing the brake system on my Camaro. I have been trying to do some research on the difference in brake flaring tool kits. Can anyone tell me if a hydraulic brake flaring tool produces better quality flares (I need to do double and bubble flares) than the standard $30 flaring tools? Or is the yhdraulic units only better for volume?

Finally, can anyone recommed a good manufacture of flaring tool. I have been looking at mastercool, old forge, ridgid, snap on, etc.

Refer to the following link for the mastercool kits available. I was trying to decide between the 70092 & 71100 (I need both SAE and metric) and the 71450 kit. However I don't want to spend the extra money if the kits produce the same quality flare.

Thanks

p.s. Does anyone have any good experience with good quality tubbing benders and cutters?

I'm sure the hydraulics produce more consistant flares. anyting is better than the good ole hand turned flares
