- Hydraulic brake, clutch, A/C and other lines can be quickly formed with a hydraulic flare tool. The Mastercool® 72475 and 72485 kits have a large following in the professional and serious DIY markets.
In this coverage, we walk through the package and put the tools to work. Best practices always apply when performing hydraulic brake work. This in-depth coverage demonstrates why brake and hydraulic clutch technicians use hydraulic flaring tools. The kit's impressive die sets can service a wide range of automotive brake applications. Tools in this category can get expensive. Mastercool® has kept the price within reach of independent repair shops, serious DIY users and restorers.

Thanks for your video, and for giving all these examples. I only wish they sold a kit that also included the AN fitting set. I hear the AN die sets just come in a cardboard box for an extra 80-100$.
You're welcome, TEAMPHY6...Making safe brake plumbing is the goal. There's an epidemic of brake tube "rot" at areas where roads get salted in winter, the reason for all these flaring tools. I like a flare tool that produces a "factory" look, no marring at the clamping point and repeatable, predictable flares. My favorite of the bunch, a tool that meets each of these criteria, is the S.U.R.&R. PFT409. With the right benders and upgrade tubing, we can produce lines that duplicate original equipment yet last longer!
This gm fittings you got to put a ton of pressure on the clamp when using steel or they move.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's helpful to others.
looks like a good tool for the work bench. may have to think about this. around $ 350.00 im thinking online.
John, this tool works very well and is preferred by loyal users. I have used and tested a number of flaring tools, and the SUR&R PFT409 is also a great tool within this price range. What I look for is a tool that will get consistent, repeatable results and not mar the tubing. The SUR&R PFT409 excels at both.
I have the early Model.cost of the new model??
I did a quick search at Amazon for ballpark figures. The Mastercool 72475-PRC is currently $338.48 (U.S.). The 72485-PRC is $347.67 (U.S.). A Silver/Blue 72485-PRC model is $348.49 (U.S.). These same tools may be listed for less at the tool warehouse sources that offer discounts.
@@RoadReadywithMosesLudel thks when they first came out way back I payed $500.00 u.s.
Glad this was helpful...Popularity and sales volume have driven the cost down. Mastercool builds commercial quality flaring tool sets. I also like the SUR&R PFT409, especially for its repeatability.
