Frost Brake Flare tool [on offer today] - worth getting?
Just had this pop up in my inbox - offer expires tonight - I do need a flaring tool at some point - is it worth leaping into action to get this one
ordered tonight? If not - what's a better buy?

Does this make DIN (also called 'bubble' ) flares?
They say it makes female, male and double flares, I'd give them a ring to check because unless you're only using really old
(c.1970's) brake parts you'll probably need DIN flares.
If it does make DIN flares then it does look cheap - I recently bought a tool that only makes DIN flares and only on one size of pipe, the cheapest
was on ebay, £34-ish IIRC.

Frost's are generally not known for compeditive prices. The reason why this is reduced is there is a much better tool available (which Frost
also now sell) and remember the P&P charges.
If you do a eBay fo the Powerhand tool (also sold under different brand names) it is a much better tool.

It does say "imperial" so you may have to take that into consideration.

I was just about to think, "that looks good" when I scrolled down to "items you may also be interested in".
£11 odd for a tube of "brake & pipe seal". ( Scratches head. ??? )
If you need to seal the threads then they haven't much confidence in the pipe flairs.
It's like finding oil drip trays next to sump gaskets.
