I flare .049 1/2” stainless with the Ridgid; it worked just fine 👍
This is good to know. I thought I had a piece of 049 to test out but I couldn't find it
@@lonestarlowshave you found the piece of 1/2" .049? To see if the 377 will flare it.
@orlandobenavides700 no I haven't. I must have scrapped it in my last scrap run
I use the rigid 377 flare tool havent had any issues with it. I usually use it with no vise and been fine. I use the longer rigid bender and makes tight 90 degrees. For deburring i have a titan deburring tool does the outter and inner debur. Great video.
you have a bender with a radius of less than 1.5 inch? thank you
@@lonestarlows I'll have to double check what the radius of it is
@@lonestarlows the 3/8 is 15/16R 1/2 is 1 1/2 R same as yours
@L5_Mobile_Tech_LLC yeah I've spent a couple hours looking for one smaller than 1.5 inch and I don't think they exist
I just went thru this while flaring tool issues recently. I got 3/8” .040 heavy duty stainless steel lines. I bought the rigid tool and it would not flare them. I had a piece of scrap .035 that flared with no issues. Luckily l had a friend that owes a hydraulic and body shop who had a good tool. He let me barrow his imperial 400-F. That was the only thing that would flare my lines. I kept getting cracks at the flare and had to redo a bunch of pieces.
I guess it's safe to say the rigid is light to medium duty, and the imperial is heavy duty.
@@lonestarlows I would agree with that! I’m happy with how it came out but it was very frustrating! Oh by the way, I used on of your older hardline flaring videos to get pointers. It helped out a lot! Keep up the good work and videos brotha!!
Glad to help. Thank you
Got a neighbor trying to sell me some legit 72 spoke 14x7 Daytons with the gold nipples and gold plated knockoffs for $1,500 and was wondering if that’s a good deal. I called Dayton and a brand new set is $4k but idk if 30 year old rims are worth it
depends on condition...
We see the work 😊
Yes we do
💪🏾💪🏾🔥💯
How do i join your car gang?
must turn wrench on car for no less than 300 hours.
If its not double flare what good is it for?
Double flares are for brake lines ..these are 37 degrees sae flares
You don’t have to double flare stainless; even on brake lines from what I’ve read. And yes, brakes are 45
