I am replacing all hard brake lines with Cunifer metal lines and new brake line nuts. I bought a Craftsman double flaring tool, with the understanding that I only need to complete the single flare. However, as shown below, I am not sure the flare (the copper colored flared end) is appropriate. Any suggestions?
  By the way, this Cunifer stuff is pretty flexible and it is supposedly kink-free. You can buy it through http://www.fedhillusa.com/ Thanks in advance! |

Buy the $500 Snap-On tool? Bubble flairs are a bitch. You need a high quality tool to make those.
