    Bubble Flares

    Any recommendation for a flaring tool for bubble flares that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. I plan to use copper nickel lines.

      Bear in mind that while the cheaper options can work well, the quality of the flare is largely defined by the skill/patience of the user.

      This isn't one of those .... "my flare was crap, therefore my tool is crap." but more of a "my flare was crap, maybe I should practice more." kind of thing.

        I would spend some time "practicing" as recommended. But I read too many product reviews and they say that after making a few flairs the tool started failing. I could take the shorter lines to a shop to be flared, but then there is that one long line to the rear that propably needs to be done in place.
