While Imperial is also a very product, I think the two wing nut design of most flare tools is poor. In my opinion the hinge design and the clamp right over the tube makes all the difference. (No I do not work for Ridgid) I was actually in the same boat as prostreetC-10 and bought a new one (the Ridgid 345) at Home Depot for like $30, but that was probably 10 years ago.
