Re: Brake line flares, what's good enough

I have successfully used the cheapy double flare tool, also. I used some of the things that ERASER5 mentioned. Lubing the tube before flaring helped quite a bit. I usually have to clean up the tube with a file after clamping. I only had one fitting give me problems, and some were NOT perfect looking.
