Brake line tools, flaring tools

[mn250r]

Hello,
Need help on figuring some of these tools out. I know some are for brake line bending and flaring, but not sure on the others. Are these tools worth anything? Rare? Name brand Imperial on some and Rigid. Thx!

Imperial Eastman is top of the line. Those tools are the best, and the benders, in particular, are quite expensive. Check the prices online, and you'll see. There are also Ridgid pipe and tube cutter wheels there. The Greenlee sheet metal punches are also good stuff. Nothing's too rare, but you have several hundred bucks worth of stuff.

Some of those look like Imperial Brass, before they merged with Eastman. Still top of the line, just older, and in some circumstance, collectible.

That's good stuff. I have their bender.

Was drawn to the box at a lunchtime estate sale today. Opened the box looking for the matching contents, and the Imperial tools weren't a bad consolation prize, by the sounds of this thread.

Brake lines have double flares. Look that up on the internet to see if anything in the set is for that kind of flare. Regular flares can be 45 degree or 30 degree. The 45 degree is for older and lower pressure.

Lots of good stuff for the price, and the box is killer!

Single flare for steel, double flare for copper.

All brake lines including steel MUST be double flared! Here are a couple of Cal-Van double flaring sets.
