Fuel Line Flare

I don't know if I'm smart enough to operate that but I might still want one.

This tool is one of the best things i ever bought.. $69 and i will never use the old flare tools again.

It's literally step #1 which sets how deep the tube is in the flare tool (then tighten the tube in place) Turn the turret to step #1 for the size tube, pull handle.. turn to step #2... pull handle.. Done.. it's sooo nice.

Amazon got me. Plus another $45 for some fancy tubing bender.

* if you make your own lines.. get nickle copper... OMFG..... i didn't listen and when i finally did it is soooo insanely easy to work with compared to steel...

Yes, used that stuff for my brake lines. So easy to bend. I have the harder stuff I had used for fuel lines so I'm gonna reuse most of it but utilize rubber hose for the trickier bends and running to the carb. Sounds like I'll go with the bubble flares for those unions. I have an old style Rigid brand flare tool that works well. The modern import copies are junk. Cheap metal and lose tolerances.

Thanks Guys for the info!
