NO!
what i meant is that there is a limit that an amateur wants to spend on a tool that is rarely used, that doesnt, necessarily, mean they have to compromise on quality - just on life.

if you can find a Moprod Easyflare they'll be about that money - very simple, easy to use and can be used on the vehicle - don't think they've been made for the last 20 years
is like any tool, buy cheap buy twice .....

Agreed - for professional use - but if yu are only likely to be using it half as much as a professional, then it evens out
.i've got a cheap flare tool, I'll gladly lend you it and one of the 220s and let you decide which one you'd prefer - the quality of the flares alone should convince you
hence me offering to do flares for free for people considering buying a cheap tool

When yu coming down to Basingstoke then, Sean
doris is in reading right now, shame we didn't have this conversation yesterday
Okay, have ordered the pipe and decided to cut the lengths then take to a motor factors for flaring.
Can anyone confirm the pipe end connector size? Not sure whether they are metric and can't check until I get home Friday - would like to get some ordered in the meantime..
Thanks!

I HAVE moprod flaring tool i bought in 1980 ,it fits in the vice ,put pipe in then two ops .op 1 for male flare op2 for female flare.I usuually use copper brake piping that way you only make em once,i always make sure the tool is lubricated so it doesnt tear the copper pipe it makes superb flares
if i remember rightly it was @£25 in 1980 even then it was inexpensive......dave
