Titan 3/16-Inch Double Flaring Tool 51535 — Compact Brake-Line Kit with Removable Handle

The Titan 51535 is a compact 3/16-inch double flaring tool kit that makes precision SAE inverted 45° double flares for automotive brake lines, even while the line remains on the vehicle.

If you work on brake systems, the Titan 51535 is designed to save time and preserve safety by producing a consistent double flare in 3/16-inch tubing. The kit includes the flaring tool with a removable handle, a positioning bolt, a double-ended OP1/OP2 punch, and a container of Grand 66A die lubricant. Its compact throat and user-focused design let you form proper inverted 45-degree flares without needing to remove the brake line from the vehicle or set up a large bench rig.

How does the Titan 51535 make reliable double flares in tight spaces?

The tool’s compact body and removable handle are key to working in cramped wheel wells and undercarriage areas. You can clamp the tool in place on the vehicle and use the included punch to form an even, inverted 45° flare with controlled pressure.

• Compact frame fits under cars and inside tight brake line runs.
• Removable handle lets you switch to a bench vise for stable shop work.
• Double-ended OP1/OP2 punch supports correct flare formation and alignment.

What tubing and flare type is this kit made for?

This Titan kit is purpose-built for 3/16-inch SAE tubing, the common size used in most cars and light trucks. It produces an inverted 45-degree SAE double flare suitable for standard automotive brake fittings; it is not recommended for stainless steel tubing.

• Designed specifically for 3/16-inch steel and nickel-copper brake lines.
• Produces SAE-style inverted 45° double flares used in braking systems.
• Avoid using on stainless tubing—best with steel or nickel-copper materials.

What components are included and how do they improve the flaring process?

The kit arrives ready to use with each piece selected to streamline flare production and protect the tooling surfaces. The included lubricant helps reduce galling and ensures smooth punch movement; the positioning bolt secures the tube for consistent results.

• 3/16-inch double flaring tool with removable handle for workshop or on-vehicle use.
• Positioning bolt to lock tubing in precise alignment during forming.
• Double-ended OP1/OP2 punch for correct die shaping and punch interchangeability.
• Container of Grand 66A die lubricant to minimize friction and extend tool life.

How do I use the tool to get a perfect inverted double flare?

Clamp the tool and tube securely, apply the supplied lubricant to the die and punch contact surfaces, and operate the punch to form the initial bubble and then the inverted flare using the double-ended punch. If needed, remove the handle and finish the flare in a bench vise for extra torque and control.

• Cut and deburr the tubing squarely before positioning in the die.
• Use the positioning bolt to align the tube height for the correct flare length.
• Apply the Grand 66A lubricant to punch and die contact points before pressing.
• Remove handle to clamp in a vise for bench work if space or leverage is limited.

Who this is for: The Titan 51535 is aimed at mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and fleet technicians who need a dependable, portable flaring solution for 3/16-inch brake lines. It's especially useful for on-vehicle repairs where space is limited and removing lines is impractical. If you frequently service automotive brake fittings and require repeatable, SAE-standard double flares without swapping to larger, bulkier kits, this compact toolset gives you the components and control needed for consistent, service-ready results.
