Half a dozen companies are now making the hand powered hydraulic
flangers. I finally broke down and bought the Mastercool version a
decade back, when they were still dirt cheap ( < $160)
that set will do single and double flares, bubbles (for brit style)Â and
T flanges for snap on flex line fittings. doing a flange in-situ is a
B----! so this tool made it super single.... but yes pricey if you only
need to do oncies and twocise.
uumm....  ok a link to see what we're talking about
