Ohh-boy do I have the tool for you guys!
For 20 plus years we have been using one of those small flaring kits to do double flares. What a pain in the arse. Then I found a small hand held "guaranteed" double flaring tool on the net. Even puts the single bubble on lines for installing fuel lines etc.
$400.00 bucks was a little steep for my needs. Then low and behold I found the kit is available through Snap-On for $308.00. After lusting for this tool for almost a year, 6 complete turnkeys to build at the present time and the will power of a 6 year old in a candy shop...I bought one last month!
It is great. Absolute perfect double flares. Even the "Bubble" flare comes out perfect. I know, a little pricey for the basic home builder that only does an occasional flare, but if a guy was going to do a full car or even more than a couple of cars it is well worth it!
I'll try to post a picture of it tonight. Never heard of the one that Bob mentioned...maybe it's a lot cheaper.
Tom, call me at 740-852-5280 or just e-mail me your adress. I'll make you a 24" (?) line and get it into the mail today. Ok, so I.m having fun with my new toy!
