Wheres a good place to buy a good flaring tool. One that does double flares for brake lines. Thanks, Bobby.

nearly any good parts store usually carries flaring tools. Or if you see a Matco, Snap-on, etc tool truck, they certainly would have one. Finally, Sears Craftsman should have a good one. I was thinking that Autozone carries Craftsman too. And IIRC K-Mart even has Craftsman now as they are the same company now but not sure of their selection of tools. FWIW

From my experience, buy a good one. We broke several of the cheapy overseas ones and couldn't get them to do a double flare at all. Harbor Freight has good stuff online.

While we're on the subject.....

I can NOT find a good high quality tube bender that will not crimp 5/16ths tubing on a very tight radius. They all "CLAIM" to produce kink-free bends but they all lie.

Any suggestions?

Can I turn a 45 deg flaring "point" down to 37 deg to do AN tubing. Is the holder & everything else the same?
