Product Information

Full details

This Capri Tools Dual Head Flaring Tool is designed for automotive professionals and DIYers needing to create precise flares on 3/16 in. (4.75 mm) tubing for brake lines and other applications. Its key benefit is the ability to quickly produce both ISO/DIN bubble flares and 45-degree SAE double flares with a single die, significantly reducing work time. A potential caveat is that it is exclusively for 3/16 in. tubing and non-stainless steel, nickel, or copper materials.

Troubleshooting

Flare is uneven or incomplete.

Ensure the tubing is fully seated in the die and that consistent pressure is applied during the flaring process. Check that the correct die orientation is used for the desired flare type.

Tool is difficult to operate.

Verify that you are using the correct size tubing (3/16 in.) and compatible material. Ensure wrenches are securely attached and apply steady force.
