a hand operated hydraulic flare tool costs between 200 and 350 with dies for all the flares uou cab dream of, including gm fuel line, inverted etc...

and it has the bennefit of not having to be mounted to a vice.. so you can do the flares on the car.. and not run back and forth between the car and bench..

i would get one tomorrow if i needed to do a car nicely soon...

I have used the hydro units before, well the Master Cool one, and I did not like it at all, way to many moving parts to get lined up and tight etc all for the moment of squeezing the handle. At least when doing AN flares so i went for a more conventional unit its way faster then you can even do the hydro, and i can get the flare closer to the bends.
