Anyone got a recommendation for a food brake line flaring tool that can do steel lines?
I fucked a brake union, couldn't find my old vice mount tools so bought one of these:
And its pap

Granted, a load of people probably have these, but I thought I'd invest in something decent

Love a Halfords tool kit - best thing they have ever done.

There's bits in here I have never seen before, like the additions to go into a ratchet spanner if it's too tight for a full size ratchet

Just don't break any of the torx bits.
I've had the small T30 break a year ago last May, took it in and they said they don't stock them and that it has to go back to head office.... Never heard anything and they didn't know when I chased it up.
Just left it as I still had the longer T30... Now that has broken 🤦🏻♂️
Surely they should have some stock in store?

They often have stock, but I normally go grab the bits out the cabinet then ask for a swap, generally the Halfords Pro/Advanced stuff is much better quality than expected but their torx/allen bits are brittle as f**k.

The new set Cookson has bought is more sensible than the old big set! decent lenght breaker, nice impact swivel joints, looks like no imperial bits - my older set is half full of imperial.

I've found whenever i break a torx bit they swap them out with the solid ones rather than the security ones with the hole in the middle, seem much stronger

Tried getting on with a manual vernier caliper (although that's what a vernier caliper actually is) for working down in the garage and quite simply my brain is too slow to work it out 😂😂 / I just end up rounding the numbers up or down defeating the purpose of a vernier caliper.
So I've just treated myself to a 150mm Mititoyo digital caliper for down in the garage.
I got the 200mm version for inside the house and love it so much. I probably use it daily, so wanted to have similiar for when 3d prints are done to measure. Excited to get it!

Sadly both indoor I couldn't afford coolant proof 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
Please explain
Spent a bit too long trying to work out what you actually meant by mititoyo until I clocked it's actually a real word.
Unusual for you, I'm scared and confused now
