The Lisle 33260 kit combines a low-profile yoke and a secure vise assembly so you can center tubing without marring the surface, and a depth stop to control tubing protrusion for consistent flare formation. Note that this model is intended for soft metal tubing and is not compatible with stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the low-profile design help in cramped engine bays?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe slim yoke and compact clamp geometry let you position the tool where bulkier kits won't fit, reducing disassembly time and improving access to lines routed near components.

The Lisle 33260 is aimed at DIY mechanics, professional technicians, and hobbyists who need a compact, dependable flaring tool for routine brake, fuel or hydraulic line service where space is limited. If you work on older vehicles, custom brake lines, or tight engine compartments and use soft tubing, this kit offers the control and portability to produce repeatable single or double flares. If you frequently work with stainless or hardened tubing, choose a tool rated for those materials instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What tubing sizes can the Lisle 33260 handle?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It works on 3\/16\" (4.75mm) and 1\/4\" tubing for single and double flares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this tool on stainless steel tubing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The Lisle 33260 is not suitable for stainless or hardened tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Lisle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67585101562041,"sku":"B082P2483D","price":166.84,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/lisle-33260-front-view-tool-assembly.jpg?v=1790467334","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/lisle-double-flaring-tool-kit-for-3-16-1-4-tubing-low-profile-vise-depth-stop","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
