Whether you’re building a custom street machine, restoring a numbers-matching rarity or in the pits between heats and fixing the race car, having a flaring tool is almost mandatory – especially, when you don’t have one. Tools never lose their value, and a top quality flaring tool can mean reliable brakes and dry fuel line connections.
Summit Racing just rolled out this comprehensive Hydraulic Flaring Tool Kit that makes quick work out of steel, stainless and nickle-copper tubing. The kit is replete with a variety of dies for all sorts of different manufacturers too. It also includes a cutting tool, molded case and an easy-to-use one-handed flaring tool.
Here’s the original press release from Summit Racing:
