Piece of crap flaring tool!!!!!
What are my options for flaring a 3/8 brake line? I have gone to O'reilly's and Autozone to rent there flaring tool but they are junk. They don't hold the line in place to do a double flare. The line just slips through. Any input would be aprrectiated. I am at my end on this v6 to v8 coversion. I have is to plumb the fuel lines and a few other things but I am ready to roll this truck off of a cliff.

Buy quality tools, or buy the pre-flared tubing and connect it with couplings.

 tighten it to keep it from slipping. So if you give another try, you might try this.

put a pair of vise grips on the tool, it holds it good.

Re: Piece of crap flaring tool!!!!!
I tried all the above on several flaring tools with no luck. I went out and had some lines made. Thanks for your input.
