Description
Factory-quality flares in seconds
The BQ351 kit produces single, double and bubble flares in 3/16″, 1/4″, 5/16″ and 3/8″ hard line, plus a DIN flare in 3/16″. Turn the turret to the flare you want, clamp the tube, and pull. It is quick enough to flare line all day rather than one repair at a time, which is why it belongs on a shop bench rather than in a toolbox.
It also works on stainless steel tube, not just steel and copper-nickel. Stainless is the tube that defeats most flaring tools, and this one is built for it. A drop of oil on the punch is all it asks for.

BQ351 or BQ350?
The BQ351 handles 45° SAE and DIN, which is almost every road car brake and fuel line. If you also flare 37° JIC/AN lines, or you work in 1/2″ tube, that is the BQ350 Professional kit. It does everything the BQ351 does and adds those. If 37° AN work is not something you take in, the BQ351 is the right kit and the cheaper one.
