    Unhappy eastwood brake flaring tool on backorder!

    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 bought a TGR set from Amazon. 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.
