Jegs sells their "professional" double flair kit for $25.00 (cheap,
lowend Chinese)
KD sells theirs for about $55 - or $115 for the double/bubble kit.
The Snap-on/Bluepoint double flare kit is about $100. The OTC kit is
about $40..


OTC- that's the one I got. It did work.

They'll pretty well all work ONCE if you are carefull. Owatona Tool
(OTC) generally makes/sells pretty decent stuff at a reasonable price,
as does KD Tools. Snap-on/Blue-point tends to be significantly higher
cost, and slightly better quality - generally.
The Harbour Frights of the world, as well as the WallMarts andPep-Boys
etc generally sell the cheapest crap they can gdet away with, while
Napa is usually closer to (the lower) middle of the road with their
"ultra-pro" line
