Sorry, Paul but that's outta my price range... but it <i>looks </i>nice. If I planned on making many flares over time, I might think about it but.... Right now, I just want to see if there's consensus on type of tubing and how to best form it.

<p>i'm sure you'll get a zillion variations in responses, but I've
simplified my rebuilds.... I simply pick up coated steel brake
lines at my local FLAPS.</p>
<p>Cut the ends off (to remove the pre-crimped nuts) Now I DO have
a nice hand powered hydraulic flanger. so bubbles, doubles, single
flairs are dirt simple. The beauty of this flare tool is I can do
it on the car in tight places and get near perfect flairs in
seconds. So many will tell you to only use 'conifer' (a copper
alloy?) which is easier to bend. But even the little cheap FLAPS
nut cracker looking benders do a decent enough job...is all I use.</p>
<p>holy crap!...just did a quick google... man they have gone up in
price! I only paid around $125 6-8 years ago</p>
<p>...anyway....if you can afford it... a GREAT tool ...NFI...just
very glad I bought it!</p>

<p>That is the all up kit...does 7-10 differnt types amd multiple
sizes of each. They do make a small kit<br>
