Got the exact same one at work, I love it. It takes a little practice to get efficient with it, and you will surely break some dies if you have shaky hands and failing eyesight.

Here you go. Used it to make an end on a power steering hose to day. I'm also changing my sending unit from o-ring to push connect. It will eliminate three fittings. A savings of about $45.

Nice! I'm definitely going to order one of those. Been wanting a good flare tool for a while.

I thought about it for a few weeks before I ordered it. The best deal was Ebay, and it was here in 2 days. If you mess with fuel injection, it will pay for its self pretty quick. Easy to use too.

How is this tool different from just using a brake line flaring tool?

For starters, did you see the first picture?

It's basically a hand operated mini press with dies that form the tubing.
