Pros/cons to Lisle vs Eastwood?

Lisle is usually a cheaper copy.

Appears that Lisle can flare both 1/4 and 3/16 where Eastwood is 3/16.
Good question as I'm looking at doing flaring with tubing on the vehicle and some off also

Yeah. Nothing against anyone else but the Eastwood tool has totally changed my skill set!
I have the same one that KD posted pics of. It does more than just 3/16"

That Eastwood one is THE ****, meaning it's the best one I've ever used.

More questions, please.
Do you need to separately
buy additional sizes (dies?) to do more than 3/16 eastwood
Saw Eastwood on ebay w/ 3/16 only for $78

And the Lisle w/ 3/16 & 1/4 for $62 on ebay
Thanks much trying to make an educated decision(no intention to hijack this thread - if so, please let me know)

The one I bought was around $200. It has multiple sizes as seen in the pictures.
3/16", 1/4". 5/16" and 3/8".
3/16", 1/4". 5/16" and 3/8".

Thanks much KD
In lieu of having the tool in a vice(fixture) can it be used fore flaring in tight spots while the tubing is on the vehicle
I'm looking at installing an in line proportioning valve and don't want to take off the existing brake line(s) since they can be difficult to remove and are often seized.
Appreciate your information

You need to clamp the Eastwood model in a vice, so not for tight spaces.

I have the same one as Kern has and it can make consistent correct double fares. When used correctly its not hit or miss.

Actually, most Lisle tools that I own are made in the USA!!

That doesn't necessarily mean "better".
Here is a GM Northstar WP removal socket made by OTC.
Here is the same socket made by Lisle.
Notice that the OTC socket is machined steel and the Lisle socket is just thin stamped steel and is reflected in the price. .
