Facom! Facom £185 squids
i didn't dare post the really expensive ones
thats why i said "without spending silly money" - I reckon £50 for an occasional use brake flare kit - whot do yu guys reckon?
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

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!
