Anyone ever used these below and are they any good ?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274006755045

Maybe this is a lot better.

Flea bay item 334330991379 £20.00. worked well for me but only does SAE ends but I've done 4 75,two td5 ,2 rangerovers , vw polo,Jetta,many older classics all ok ,mot passed ,no leaks 5 to 6 months down the line . Loads of people drop the tank to change the one over the tank. I cut the old one out leave in place ,use tape to blank the kunifer off ,thread it through ,then thread petrol pipe pieces ,three over the pipe . I use plastic ties then to bind the new pipe housed in the petrol tube to the old pipe over the tank .
Hope it helps someone somewhere,as you guys help us all on here .ta to one and all

For the complete set of tooling order the SP kit part no. 0272 9600.

Every one will have their own opinions for sure ,but I own a sykes pickavant flaring kit and they are quality tools

Looking at the Sykes-pickavant set your after , for the money a better flaring kit would be

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sykes-Picka...s%2C66&sr=8-42

admitted it doesn't have all the tools but ultimately it is the flaring tool you are after

or for less money some thing like this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hydraulic-C...s%2C82&sr=8-22

Both these items are supported with spare parts
I have only included the flares to suit car brake pipes
unless you specifically want a hand held one for flaring actually on the car

when we start talking £150 for brake tools it starts to become expensive as we may only ever do one set of pipes, others will do more. Is anyone willing to lend out their brake making kits?
