Trying to get the old rot-box back in the road and I’m going to need to replace a few of the brake lines (front half I replaced with cupro-nickel a few years ago). Have you got any recommendations for an effective flaring tool which won’t brake (ba dum tss) the bank? I’m thinking along the lines of Laser, Sealey etc.
Cheers
 
Hi

Found this very good, 3/16 and 4.75 are virtually the same size

Looks a quality bit of kit! But out of my price range for want I’m needing it for.

Cheers mate. I saw your thread from a few years back, good to see you’ve got on with that tool. I think I’ll end up going for this one.
 
Cheers for all the suggestions. This arrived today and I’m suitably impressed with the quality for the price.
I’ll be punching the missus later using the special grease, being extra careful not to get any near her mouth.
