I need to purchase a 37 degree flair tool for some fuel line work. Summit sells their kit for $30 and Rigid wants $109 from toolbarn. I know the Rigid is better but I don't know if its $70 better. Anyone use the Summit tool? Did it work OK. Thanks

I have a rigid and a parker, the parker is faster for most lines up to .5" but the rigid held my .75" stainless lines perfectly. Tim

I got one, no complaits, but I havent done any SS, just brake line and aluminum, and copper.

No leaks, if that helps.

I have never seen a 37* in the parts stores, or at sears. They all have a 45* brake double flare. FYi, but maybe I missed them.
