Get a better one!
Well the box is impressive, the pipe cutter works, but that's it. If you intend to make brake flares you will likely be disappointed with this tool.I got myself a Franklin flare tool and it works fine, the flare die is much better formed than this one, so in this case pay the extra money and get something you can trust to do the job.

Don't waste your time & money on this.
Very poor quality, do not buy this for brake line flares. After several practice attempts on new copper/nickel based brake line, i gave up & used a Franklin hand held tool ( more expensive but did the job every time). The only part of the kit that is adequate is the circular pipe cutter, this worked ok. If it was a reasonable cost to send it back for a refund, i would but what should i have expected for just over £10.

Does not work - Clamp is poorly manufactured
Foolishly I did not check the reviews prior to purchasing. After plenty of frustration & then checking them, I can sigh with relief its not me being useless, but the tool not working.Main issue is as the rest of the reviews. Does not hold 3/16 pipe tightly, preventing flaring.

Useless
I bought this to flare a 3/16" pipe. It was useless as the size of the hole is a tiny bit too wide meaning it doesn't hold pipe properly to do the job as it should be done.

Don't waste your time or money on this one.
Dont bother wasting your time and money on this or similar style tools, just go for the Franklin one handed tool it makes perfect flares every time this one really doesnt do a professional job at all, However the cutter is good and works well but too big for getting in tight spaces.My advice get a mini cutter and a Franklin flare tool.
