This tool will work to make new ends for brake lines too right? If so I need to get one....so I am prepared when I need to replace sections of my brake lines in back in case they rust out....

Yes ... just make sure it comes with the bubble flare die for 4.75 mm line.

A proper tool is well into the $400 range.




a proper tool will NOT leave any marks on the tube from clamping (weak spots) The ridged is a nice tool, be sure to get the right double flare dies with it.

Cunfer tubing will make life easier. next time your at a PNP, rip some volvo brake lines off, as they are 90-10 nickel copper lines ("cunfer") Volvo's been using it since the late 70's, it will not rust and will bend and flare amazingly easy. (and I hope I spelled everything right)
