      part of making decent flares is a good tool. Shitty ones don't hold the line properly and it ends up slipping through the block enough to cause problems.
      Truth; I don't remember who it was on here that turned me on to the MasterTool hydraulic flaring tool. Probably the best purchase I've made; done brake and fuel lines with that tool with no hassle. Definitely worth the money.

        I have a line straightener, eastwood turret flare tool, and their hand line bender. Can do a whole panther in no time. Was a good investment, since I've done about 10 whole vehicles for friends and fam.

          A friend of mine has one (Mastercool). We flared some stainless steel line back in Nov/Dec timeframe and it was unbelievably quick and easy compared to wasting time with a cheap flare tool.

              I tried to get it done myself but it became very obvious that the line going back from the front was in need of replacement. I don’t really have a place or time to do that so I just took it to my shop I go to and had them replace all the lines.
