I bought the Harbor Freight special and was happy with it. Did more
flares than I can count on my airplane fuel system. Not a bad one in the
bunch. (It was aluminum tubing though) Built some decent hand and
forearm muscles in the process.

Don't forget a nice bending tool as well so as not to kink those nicely
flared lines.

I thought I could bend the 3/8" and 7/16" line without kinking and I was
sorely mistaken. Had to go the 10 miles back to the local Harbor Freight
and pick up the bender. Makes it look so nice when its done. Take a look
at my engine page and you'll see my handy work.

Can any of you guys recommend a decent double flaring tool for power
steering/brake lines? It will be used with steel lines.
