Brake Flaring Tool Kit

Does anybody have any opinion on a good double flare brake flaring tool kit? (Reasonably priced. I can’t afford a $300.00 tool)

I never saw one that high priced but sure wasn't looking for one either. I've always used the handheld job from the auto parts store with success. $40 tops if you need it right then. I've bought one and then seen them cheaper the same day in a different store.

after using the matco inline flair tool, i will never ever use the old style again. perfect flairs every time.

i know a few people that have this CTA kit, and they all have no problems with it:

the one thing to remember with these is patience is the key. if you try to rush things, you will most likely ruin the tool .
