Default 37 degree flaring tool

Heads Up Guys,

Don't waste your money on the Summit 37 Degree Flaring Tool.

PN SUM-900311.

I bought it... tried it....Nothing but leaks

Ordered a better one from Speedway.

Do yourself one better. About $300 on ebay (71475), does every flair out there.

I've probably used half a dozen of flaring tools in my life, the best one EVER is the Ridgid tool (part# 41162 ), and it doesn't cost as much (around $120 or so). The problem with most cheap flaring tools is that they cannot handle the steel or stainless steel tubes, they only can flare soft metals like aluminum or copper.
