    http://www.inlinetube.com/ Do not waste your money on cheap tools...... You will work twice as hard and work twice as long and very likely you will be buying another tool. Get a good flareing tool the first time..... Personally I would go with a flareing tool from this company before I got one from Eastwood....Eatwood can sell high priced chinese crap, but that another story. And you dont want to use the tubing cutters that are made like the plumbers tubing cutters, you know the cutter that looks like a clamp. This cutter will "work harden" the end and make things more deficult when you go to make your flares. A hacksaw and a file to debur the end is all you need. Be sure to flush out your lines as best you can before assembly. Check the site out and you will get tips for doing the job right. They should even have tips on what your tubing end should look like before the flare so that you get a "QUALITY" flare. IMO if the flare is not perfect ,redo it, you dont want to half ass it when it comes to your brakeing system. and dont forget to put your fitting on before you do the flare,lol....
