Brake line flaring tool
I am going to build my own brake lines using Nickel/Copper alloy brake lines. I will be using either AAS or Poly Armour. From everything I've read, its pliable, easy to work with and will not corrode. My truck is down to the frame as a roller right now and I want to go ahead and build the brake lines while I have easy access. I've done a ton of research on flaring tools and ultimately have come up with the flaring tool from Eastwood is one of the best. However at a cost of $200 bucks, I was hoping I could find a good alternative at half or less the cost. To those of you who have worked with the Nickel/Copper lines, is there a more affordable flaring tool that works? I don't want to run out and buy a cheaper parts store tool, as that idea almost never works! I should also mention before someone says, "just buy a complete line set" that I want to route my lines in a much neater and organized fashion. Thanks!!
