[DeTomaso] Brake Related Website

[Julian Kift]

Now that looks a nice tool, did you buy direct and what was the price?
 
I have been struggling with a handheld flaring tool recently and actually did some research in anticipation of getting something better. From what I found Blue Point (sold by SnapOn and MAC tools) or KD-Tools seemed to come out on top every time for reproducible no leak double flares. All only seem to do soft wall materials though, if laying out some $$ I'd like a tool that is stainless capable.
