Greeney,
I suspect you are a little like me when it comes to tools. That looks quite a well made tool and probably expensive. I will buy a tool just so that I can "do it myself" and probably not use it many times. How many of those type of flares do you reckon you will have to make before it beats buying a new ready made pipe?

Yes I am a bit like that with tools, if its in the box when its needed its worth it  BUT I have:
2 Hvans with a possible 3rd on the way
2DSs with onother to remake every pipe
and to date 4 2CVs including 2 vans and no doubt there will be a lot more, the local Renault garage has come up and asked me to make a pipe up too. Although I paid £120 it will be worth it in the, just a coiled up ready made pipe of a foot long will cost about a tenner+
Trudy just calls them my gadgets, at least until there is something she needs me to do.
I have a nickname here and in the UK amongst a lot of people "arsenic" as in "ask nick"  if he doesnt know or know where to get its not worth it

I think that nick name loses a little in translation Greeney! |
