The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest Mastercool Double Flaring Tool

It's always a very pleasant experience to use a tool that actually does what it is supposed to in a quality manner. I needed to re-plumb the fuel lines to the tri-carbs on my 348. I knew I needed a double flare to be safe (using brake lines). I really didn't look forward to making single flares much less doubles with my current flaring tools. I found the Mastercool 71475 double flaring tool here in Minnesota for $289 ($445 at autozone), it came highly recommended on other forums. I have to say it is worth every cent. It was a pleasure making the fuel lines, perfect each time, and so simple to do. I also purchased a bending tool, Titan, and it makes perfect bends each time ($13). I thought would share this, if you are looking for such a tool, this is a good one.

I have the same tool, only under the Blue Point brand name (purchased from Snap-On). I agree, it is a great tool. With the proper adapters (I got mine in the full kit), it will also do Metric Bubble flares, as well as the different styles of push connects. With a little trickery, I have also been able to make the hybrid flare that GM and Ford has been using recently. They also have the 37 degree flare dies for doing stainless/A-N fittings.

I bought one from my Snap On dealer, and I agree the thing is great.

Awesome tool. I've owned one for a few years. Great for doing flares for repairing lines on or under the vehicle. Just used it on my neighbour's 01 Silverado for an emergency repair.
