More expensive tools may provide this reproducibility if they have less user involvement but getting optimum results with this tool requires training and practice

Unfortunately little to no guidance is provided with it to train the user how to get the best result

Another example is the common practice of mating a new rough flare with a knowngood mate multiple times using progressively increasing force to help shape the flare so it does not leak

I didnt experiment with factors like optimum extension of the tube in the fixture or a way to determine the right clamping force to hold the tube but not transfer the tools clamping ridges

Since this tool did not automatically create a symmetric flare it should be considered a requirement to first practice on old or scrap tubing before making the necessary critical flares

As an inexpensive tool it should be no surprise that the top and bottom flaring bars are not simultaneously centered for all the tube sizes

In any event the section of brake line i replaced did not leak so it is possible for even a newbie to get satisfactory results
