## Overview

The Cal-Van Tools 165 Master Inline Flaring Kit is a professional-grade toolset designed for creating precise single and double flares on brake and fuel lines.

## Description

Cal-Van Tools 165 Master Inline Flaring is a complete and professional flaring tool kit. The slender low-profile design of this tool allows the user to make flares on the vehicle and in tight spaces. This new patented flaring tool design makes perfect single or double flares easily. Inline flare tool kit can be employed to increase the overall life of the clamp by not wearing down the teeth inside due to repeated slipping. In-Line Flaring Tools with its unique design locks the adapters cone and tube in a symmetrical line making perfect factory flares which reduces chance of breaking the adapters.

Review: Perfect flares if you do it right - I’m completely new to making brake lines, and after a decent bit of practice and trial and error I was able to consistently make great flares. Another reviewer mentioned a couple tips including adding extra length to line and making sure edge prep is perfect. Using those guidelines will serve you well, as I noticed a big improvement after adopting those. A couple additional things helped me. 1.) Lube up everything except for the threads that grip the tube so that it moves smoothly and lasts. This makes it easier to completely press the die in all the way and break it loose. I saw that other reviewers had quality control issues, I didn’t have any using the 1/4 in clamp a bunch but the lube cant hurt. 2.) Make sure that the clamps are completely together! The included instructions say don’t use a wrench, I say screw that. You have to get the bolts pretty tight in order to get it completely on. The way I would check is by shining a light to see if there was space between the clamps. This ensured the clamps were on tightly and evenly. If you don’t do this, the first flare will come out lopsided. Just ensure you don’t abuse the screws too much and overdo it, they aren’t the strongest and stripping them out or snapping them would suck. 3.) Add extra force by holding the clamps together with a vise or with a c clamp to ensure there’s no slipping. I made a flare on the car using a c clamp, and while cumbersome it worked just fine. I will say my best results were on a vise. Though I used this at least 10 times and it held up fine, I can’t say how long it will last. I guess that’s the trade off for the price point. Good buy in my opinion.
Review: It’s works - Credentials: mechanic 23 years US Army, now that that’s out of the way I will say this tool makes descent flares but I could only use it on steel lines. I tried it on the copper lines and that was a big no go, line is too soft For this tool to grip long enough to form the flare and just pushes through. So if you have copper and would like a day of pulling your hair out and pithing this thing through the neighbors window this is for you. Helpful hint: bevel the end with a file/Dremel, soften the metal with fire to red hot put it in the tool while it’s hot and crank down snug. I’ve always done my flares this way it never lets me down. I would say this tool is way better then that cheap thing we all tried at least once. So I’d say yeah for steel it’s worth the buy, no for copper don’t waste your time.

## Features

- Specifications: this flaring set includes 3/16 in., 1/4 in., 5/16 in. and 3/8 in. double and single flares which are designed to reduce the chance of the tube slipping from the clamp. Double and bubble flares measure 4.75mm, 6mm, 8mm
- Equipment Design: with compact design, the in-line flaring tool enables the user to flare copper or soft steel tubing in tight spaces. The double clamp and hex body keeps tube from slipping, keeping flares centered and making flaring easier
- Flaring Tool Adapters: in-line flaring set is designed to simplify flaring chores. The design locks the adapter's cone and tube in a perfect line which makes accurate factory flares with less risk of breakage
- Tubing Tool Kit: with the clamp and screws laying pressure directly over the tube, there is a great chance of the tube slipping from the clamp. Flaring tools reduce this chance and make it work effectively
- Durable Material: flaring kit swivel-type swaging adapters and flaring cone are made of the sturdiest steel materials — perfect for tough job sites
- NOTE: The tool is not to be used with stainless steel which can damage the tool

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a better cutter and a good reamer
*by L***S on May 19, 2016*

For the price it's hard to beat. I've used it to flare lines both on and off vehicles and it works well. The tubing cutter that came with this kit had a hard time cutting through regular steel brake line, and the reamer supplied also had a hard time with regular steel brake line. I had a better cutter and a good reamer, so the lack of quality on these two pieces didn't really affect me. I'm still giving it four stars because it's so much easier to get a quality flare than with the old style flaring tools. Les
