Flaring Tool
Bearing in mind I don't intend to be making brake pipes for a living, can anyone recommend a fairly cheap flaring tool so I can make my own
pipes up?

I have the Machine Mart version of that and it's done steel, copper and Kunifer pipes and plumbed 3 complete cars with no problems.

Ah Mr Whippy - you need to read these posts more carefully. I said it worked for my pipes. I didn't say anything about your pipes!
