Powerbuilt 14 Piece Master Tubing Service Kit, Cutting, Bending, Flaring Metal Tubes, HVAC, Car Repair, Plumbing, Electrical Tool Set - 948006

Worked great for brake lines on my 88 lincoln town car

Don’t take chances when compressing springs. This works like it should and is sturdy.

I found the handle bends quite easily while twisting down for a good flare, but if your paying attention it can be avoided. Other than that, good stuff for a weekend warrior

This worked great. Didn’t slip on the tubing at all

This kit is overpriced for what it is, and it is horribly constructed. This is worse quality than a $25 dollar tube flare I had previously used.Brake lines slip through the clamp, from day one, no matter how tight it is tightened down (even using a wrench for leverage on the wingnuts to get it tighter). Even if I can get a flare started on the line, it ends up being a crooked flare and there has been nothing I can do to get a clean flare.The tubing cutter's blade chipped when cutting the first 3/16" steel tubing, and the handle "pulled through" after only a couple cuts. I have been able to continue using it, but I have to hammer the handle back onto the shaft and be careful when cutting.The only truly functional part of this kit is the tubing bender, although I would encourage you get a different bender that will allow for tighter bends, this one requires a section of tube that's far longer than others in order to get a bend.

I use the extras in this kit more than I do the actual flare tool. I just couldn’t get it to work for anything but a single flare. The line holder is really secure on there, which is great, but it really tears up Ni-Cop brake line at the part where it was clamped on.The bender isn’t the tightest radius I’ve seen, but it’s good at what it does. The tubing cutter is by far my most used tool in the set. Its pretty good at what it does, really no complaints.

I don’t know how many years I spent splitting break lines that needed to be double flared great tool good storage box also

I bought this kit to remake the brake lines in my classic car. I had never done any line making before, but after watching a few videos on YouTube, I felt confident. I had no trouble using this kit to bend and flare new brake lines. I was concerned about the quality due to the price, but every piece performed just fine. Case is good quality, too.
