User questions & answers

Question:	Is it possible to make a bubble flare with this tool, by using the flat side of the tubing holder
Answer:	yes it is
Question:	I have a bubble flare line nut m10 x 1.0. Will this 4503 Stinger Double Flaring Kit make that exact bubble flare? If so, which adapter do I use
Answer:	788 has more features, is truly balanced, includes a balanced DAC, is cheaper, and is wrapped into one box. 789 has lower noise/distortion, is truly analog, and has much more output voltage. The 789 is objectively a better amp, however for most people the 788 is a better choice. The difference in noise is basically inaudible, the 788 is still miles ahead of most amps. The 788 includes a solid balanced DAC and is truly analog while the 789 isn't technically truly balanced, and you'd need to buy a balanced DAC (or a DAC period) to use it. It also includes a lot of great features like parametric EQ and Sensurround. The 789 has almost substantially more output voltage however - but the 788 is still plenty for most people. Unless you're driving HE-6 or 600ohm cans you're not going to need the extra power more than likely. The 789 is also truly analog whereas the 788 converts the signal to digital and then back to analog to enable the EQ and other features it has. There's pros and cons to both. Again, the 789 is objectively better in almost every way, however I think the 788 is a better solution for most people as you're probably never going to HEAR an actual difference. If you want the best of the best, you can actually get your hands on one, and you don't mind spending another 200-300 on a balanced DAC, go with the 789. Only if you just really want/need to squeeze out every last drop you can. If you want to buy one box and be done with it for a lower price, want EQ features, and aren't desperate for the extra power, go with the 788. It's a better value and is the right choice for 90% of people. It's an amazing package all wrapped up into one so that you don't have to do the leg work. Both are amazing and you're not going to be unhappy with either.
Question:	please, this kit is appropriate to use in home air conditioner system? thanks
Answer:	You only can use this DAC as a preamp, not the power amplifier. So if your home stereo speakers are powered/active that come with RCA or Phone Jack input connector, then it works. But if your home stereo speakers come with terminal block/banana plug/binding post connector, then you will need other power amplifier to complete the system. Such as the Soundavo brand CSA-60 and CSA-150 amplifier, it works perfect with HP-DAC1.
Question:	Made in
Answer:	The volume control can adjust the output level for both Headphone and RCA Out, however, once the headphone connection is used, there is no signal on the RCA output, the signal will simple mute analogue outputs when headphone jack is inserted.

Answer:	I did not use Tri-wing screwdriver, I bought the kit to fix my mac air screen. These products is seemly for one time use. They break or wear out fast.
Question:	can the tube bender also bend stainless steel ( http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Seamless-Tubing-Length/dp/B004YZDCGG

Question:	What is the radius of the bends
Answer:	Yes it worked on my 2008
Question:	Dobla acero inoxidable

Set includes 1 piece of 40-inch silicone hose with universal rubber adapter. Designed to fit most vehicle rake oil bleeder fittings and use with most standard and ABS brake systems.

• Designed to drain most standard and ABS brake systems
• Bleeds and flushes hydraulic brakes and clutches with vacuum
• Features integrated silencer for quieter work
• Helps prevent spills and messes
• Set includes 1 piece of 40-inch silicon hose with universal rubber adapter

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this capable of getting trapped air out from calipers? A lot of times hand vacuum cant get trapped air out
Answer:	It usually will if it's just trapped air. If there is a clogged bleeder screw orifice then that will still need to be cleaned out and if there is a blockage in the line it sometimes needs a little help from the pedal but both of those situations are rare.
Question:	Can this be used with a small compressor? no scfm or cfm on description
Answer:	It sort of gives min cfm (2) / psi (40) in the pictures of the product. Smaller compressor should be ok, but will take a little longer, since you will need to wait for it to catch up every so often. I've used this with a 4 gal Makita compressor and had to do each wheel with about 5-6 pauses: run it for 15 seconds, stop, wait 30-60 seconds for the compressor to catch up, run another 15 seconds.
Question:	I have a 92 gmc sierra 4x4 half ton pickup, is there a silicon hose that fits my master cylinder lid? how’s it hook to my reservoir
Answer:	The unit doesnt hook to the master cylinder, it hooks to the brake bleeder screw at the drum or caliper and vacuum pulls fluid down from the Master Cylinder through the brake system and out the bleeder. The YouTube Video on it, mentions pulling old fluid out of the Master Cylinder, but that is simply inserting the hose in the master cylinder and vacumming the old out like a straw in a cup.
Question:	How is this for motorcycle brakes
Answer:	I have used this on both my BMW F650GS and on my 1982 Honda CB900C. My brother in law used it on his ST1300. It was probably the best bleed job on both clutch and brakes we have used.

Product description

Cal-Van Tools 165 Master Inline Flaring is a complete and professional flaring tool kit. The slender low-profile design of this tool allows the user to make flares on the vehicle and in tight spaces. This new patented flaring tool design makes perfect single or double flares easily. Inline flare tool kit can be employed to increase the overall life of the clamp by not wearing down the teeth inside due to repeated slipping. In-Line Flaring Tools with its unique design locks the adapters cone and tube in a symmetrical line making perfect factory flares which reduces chance of breaking the adapters.

• Specifications: this flaring set includes 3/16 in., 1/4 in., 5/16 in. and 3/8 in. double and single flares which are designed to reduce the chance of the tube slipping from the clamp. Double and bubble flares measure 4.75mm, 6mm, 8mm

• Flaring Tool Adapters: in-line flaring set is designed to simplify flaring chores. The design locks the adapter's cone and tube in a perfect line which makes accurate factory flares with less risk of breakage
• Tubing Tool Kit: with the clamp and screws laying pressure directly over the tube, there is a great chance of the tube slipping from the clamp. Flaring tools reduce this chance and make it work effectively
• Durable Material: flaring kit swivel-type swaging adapters and flaring cone are made of the sturdiest steel materials — perfect for tough job sites

User questions & answers

Question:	What exactly happens when you try stainless steel? Does the tubing just slide backward or what
Answer:	if the tubing slides backward, then the tool isnt tight enough. I have tried several cheaper tools, without much success. I should have bought this one first... there is a good youtube video showing this tool in operation; it was very helpful to me in replumbing the project that i am working on. good luck!
Question:	Is this a 37 degree or 45 degree flare
Answer:	These are 45 degree
Question:	Can i buy only the 1/4 inch adadter
Answer:	I don't know if individual components are available.
Question:	Are these now made of steel? The 1/4" stripped pretty easily. Can i buy just the 1/4" inch line holder. Cal van wont answer me back
Answer:	My 3/16 stripped out and I'm just returning the whole set because it is junk.
