I got this one a few years back (or a similar one), & have never
had a problem with it.

The only suggestion or advice I'll give you is, buy a couple of
each connector that you'll ever need, & keep 'em in stock, - you
could save yourself from being stuck trying to finish a job one
Sunday afternoon for the sake of a 50p connector. :banghead
- Oh, and buy a roll of brake pipeage, not just the amount you
need. :smilewide:

Tis what I have and its a proper tool; ok, you can't make
repairs to pipes on the vehicle and you need a decent vice (
don't we all :-) ) , but it's a quality piece of kit thats done
sterling service.
Given the price of copper pipe and unions now; it saves so much
time just to rag out the old pipe ( even if only one end has
been monged ) and make up a new length.
Now, where is mine??? :-)
By the way, the one in Hipsters link is missing several dies,
but it does have what you need for S3 brake unions.

Why fuck about making pipes,how often are you really going to
use it?
There is a guy on eblag who I have used who makes them up and
posts them to you in a couple of days
I think the last one was £7 posted.... no brainer

Fair point BUT when you bust one or need to mong it to change a
cylinder that has let go on a Sunday afternoon AND you need the
vehicle the next day ...he's not going to be much use .
I must get round to getting a flaring tool ...I seem to have
plenty of 1/4 pure copper pipe around from using it at work lol
