I obviously don't want a $20 disposable POS tool....I heard Rigid makes a good one.

But that's also in the 4-500 range I think

Seems like any name brand tool companies version (Snap-On, Matco, etc) works well and are worth the money, even though they look identical to the dirt cheap versions from Autozone, harbor freight, etc, they are not!

I must have a fetish for brake flaring tools/ benders because I have been through them all, including the hydraulic version but I have been MOST impressed with this one:
