yorkshire_spam Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 A quick word of warning to those picking up quality second hand flare tools - I had a MK1 Sykes Flaremaster and it was fantastic to use BUT the "bridge" section shattered, as did the replacement I got from Sykes - no idea if they cured it for the MK2 though.

Velocita Rosso Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Quoted from yorkshire_spam A quick word of warning to those picking up quality second hand flare tools - I had a MK1 Sykes Flaremaster and it was fantastic to use BUT the "bridge" section shattered, as did the replacement I got from Sykes - no idea if they cured it for the MK2 though.

yorkshire_spam Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It was a great piece of kit in a nice sturdy metal box - but the bridge parts seemed to have a casting weakness, which was a shame. Especially since they were about 15 quid each from Sykes for the replacements.In the end I bought a new bridge and shoved it on ebay to get rid.

Rallyspit Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I bought the Frost brake pipe flare tool last week. It arrived in 48 hours, and I spent last Saturday doing all my brake pipes. Perfect flares every time, (and I only once forgot to put the nut on first). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
