Re: Brake line flares, what's good enough
The flare tool set my dad has is made by Giller Tool Corp. This tool clamped down on the line better than the summit tool as one side hinged a bit. You would tighten the screw on the hinged side and then tighten the other side. This allowed it to hole the line better. Never got to actually flare the line with the summit tool as I couldn't get it to hold the line and ended up breaking one of the screws.
I googled Giller Tool Corp and from the sound of it they are no longer in business and they manufactured alot of tools for the military. Which makes sense as my dad probably got it from his old work where they use to have a bunch of old donated military vehicles and equipment.
