eastwood brake flaring tool on backorder!

[toadster]

in advance of getting the car, I opted to order the Eastwood brake flare tool because of the reviews, and figured I may as well do it once and do it right!
I ordered it over the holiday special for $179, depending on the time of year that can be up to $50 off!

bad thing is, my order says Backordered 2020-03-04 !!!

just in case anyone was looking to get one quickly... it's gonna be a while!

It will be well worth the wait. It makes perfect flares and in 1/5 the time it takes to do it the old way.

I’m sure someone else sells it that has one?

I bought mine from Jegs -- on sale right now for $180.00 and at least ten on hand.

I bought a TGR set from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Brake-Flaring-Tool-degree/dp/B01HOXT84Y/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=37+degree+flaring+tool&qid=1577831961&sr=8-5). Its an amazing set, ive used the 45 and 37 degree dies (came in the kit) and never had a single bad flare. Totally recommend it.
