I find Machine Mart is often quite expensive.  I actually buy quite alot of tools from Halfords.  There professional range seems to be pretty good quality and well priced.  So wuld recommend Halfords and local tool places.

I personally wouldn't bother with a brake pipe bender.  I have one, but don't use it and do it by hand - carefully.  

I think that a decent brake flaring tool is worth spending real money on.  I haven't found one that I would be happy with for less than £75, which is why I still borrow one from a friend!

Not wanting to make this sound like an advert......

I can for any MC Member do a two set flaring tool that includes
4.75mm and 3/16'' Die & Punch, including P&P £65 (UK Only)

PM me for details.

Additional dies and punchs available at £7 per set

Could not agree more Henry!!

I find MM rather pricey

Halfords pro stuff is fab!!  Got two socket sets and if any thing breaks....

.....they always replace it!!!!  :D

That looks like a proper bit of kit, Paul.

May well be interested in that.  Is this a short term offer or can it wait until my finances have bounced back from the battering that they got at Sodbury!

I also do brake pipe fitting.

The other thing, is the quality of the tools you buy, although you can get some tools quite cheap, and not be of fantastic quality, you have to weigh up how much you will use them against the durabilty.

Can be interesting sometimes with the specialist tools, and sometimes its worth asking around to see if you can borrow the odd tool from a friend especially if you are only going to use it the once

Some budget tools are worth having some are not, I usually keep a roll of cheap spanners in the lightweight, basically because if i nip out in it I dont want to transfer tools over fromt he main vehicle fot a run, and risk having them nicked from a rag top. A basic roll already in there out of the way and if any probs occur at least i've got a fighting chance of doing something
