Anyone using this Mastercool kit Greg has recommended or this other one I posted? The mastercool kit looks like it does a whole lot more for the the same price plus right under the link you posted you can get the 37* dies for a little bit more. Looks like a good package!

I own this kit AND the 37* flare stuff as well.... as well as a needle bearing "rotary" style 37* flare tool as shown here (spelled EXPENSIVE):

You can not go wrong with the Mastercool stuff...

I also have a few benders and like this brand / style...

greg the "some tools" in your signature needs to be replaced with "a **** load of tools". youve got so much and more....

btw, you can also buy the mastercool kit with just the 37* dies. i plan to use it on all of my brake and fuel lines, so no need to pay for the 45* stuff.

Ill give the mastercool set another vote. I bought the complete set, but have only used it to double flare stainless 3/16 and 1/4 brake line so far. Worked perfect the first time for me. No do overs.

Greg did you really buy the Imperial 37* flare tool 400-F from newman tools?
You can get the same tool from aircraft spruce for $299 this is by far the cheapest I have found it as most places sell this tool for close to $400

Money is no object....

I have this and the 37* "kit" for the MasterCool hydraulic set up I have...

Greg your a riot

Just a note Eastwood no longer recommends the Mastercool tool be used with stainless. Seems I wasnt the only one with Die issues.
