any recommendations on a tube flaring tool?

[Hot_Wheels]

I have a crappy flaring tool I was trying to use for flaring. When I go to press the flare the tube pushs out. I was thinking of grinding the tube lock down to give it more clamping force? Or should i just buy something else? I dont know if i could justify biying a nice one due to i will hardly use it. Wish i could rent one.

If you plan on doing brake jobs or any flaring more than a few times a year, don't buy cheap flaring tools. The teeth in the clamp tend to wear out fast and then you either throw it out or try and get a warranty. I have a Bluepoint ( Snapon cheaper brand.) and the only "issue" I had was one of the wing nut bolts stripped because my dad went hulk on it and tightened it too much. I would recommend Bulepoint or Matco as I have both and they both work very well with little to no issues.

This is very similar to the one we just got at work.

Remember thread 22624?
Their tube flaring tools are ridiculously expensive.
