Brake Line Flaring Tool Kit, 3/16", 1/4", 5/16"

TUBPRO's Brake Line Flaring Tool Kit is an all-in-one set for producing precise 45° single and double flares in soft metal tubing from 3/16" to 1/2".

Whether you're repairing brake lines, HVAC runs, or fuel and refrigeration tubing, this compact kit gives you the fittings, cutter and hardened yoke needed to form reliable flares on copper, aluminum, magnesium and soft steel tubing. The blow-molded case keeps parts organized for shop or mobile work, and the set's three-piece construction simplifies setup so you can make accurate joints without a hydraulic press or specialty bench tools.

How does the kit ensure consistent double and single flares?

The kit uses a hardened flaring bar and forged yoke that align the tubing and clamp the adapter while the flaring cone forms a clean 45° flare. The chrome swivel on the yoke reduces friction for smoother, repeatable seating, which helps prevent cracking or uneven flares.

• Five threaded adapters for 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2" tubes
• Forged yoke plus hardened flaring bar for stable alignment
• Polished flaring cone for uniform 45° flare geometry

What materials and tube sizes can I use with this tool?

This set is made for malleable tubing: copper, aluminum, magnesium, brass and soft steel. It is not intended for hardened metals such as iron or hard steel. The included cutter accepts pipe between 1/8" and 5/8" so you can size and prepare the tube before flaring.

• Compatible tubing: copper, aluminum, magnesium, soft steel, brass
• Adapter sizes: 3/16" to 1/2" for flare forming
• Cutter capacity: 1/8"–5/8" tube diameter for clean ends

What comes in the kit and how portable is it for field work?

The set includes a flaring cone, a flaring bar (yoke), a tube cutter, five size adapters and a blow-molded storage case. The case holds each component securely and fits easily in a toolbox or service van, making the kit convenient for roadside repairs or HVAC service calls.

• Components: cone, flaring yoke, flaring bar, cutter, five adapters, case
• Case: blow-molded for organized transport and protection
• Weight and size: compact enough for mobile mechanics and HVAC technicians

How durable is the tool under regular shop use?

Key load-bearing parts are constructed from heat-treated steel and forged alloy, designed to resist deformation under normal flaring forces. The chrome swivel reduces wear from repeated rotation, extending service life compared with low-grade finishes.

• Heat-treated steel bar and forged yoke for strength
• Alloy chrome swivel to lower friction and wear
• Protective storage case reduces impact damage during transport

Who is this for: The TUBPRO Brake Line Flaring Tool Kit is ideal for DIY mechanics, mobile service technicians, HVAC installers and fleet maintenance teams who need a portable, reliable way to form 45° single or double flares on soft-metal tubing. If you routinely work with brake, fuel, refrigeration or air conditioning lines and need a compact kit that handles several common tube sizes without specialty equipment, this set covers most field and shop requirements.
