[DeTomaso] Brake Related Website

[Ken Green]

Brakequip had a show price a SEMA of $350.  It never hurts to ask if they will still match that price.   There are two sets, the BQ350 does both 45 and 37.5 degree flares.  If you want to use braided lines with AN fittings without an adapter, you need the both flares.
 
I was interested in making some lines but not comfortable with making the flares.  I'm much more comfortable with this kit.  They claim you can do stainless, but that may require annealing before flaring.

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.
