Not hydraulics, fuel injection. Most of the fittings you find for this
kind of appli

Hey Wilton!
Great story! ;-) Typical of the quality of our servicepeople.
Speaking of a bunch of experienced people working on something
mechanical - Peter Egan (columinist extrodinaire in R&T) was celebrating
the Christmas holidays with some friends in from out of town.

I had a nice snap on that would do normal and double flares. They
only have double flare dies for us sizes, not metric, but I was able
to make double flares with practice.
The last time i needed double flares, I used my cheap flare tool and
just bought the 1/8" double flare die from snappy.
Can anyone recommend a good all-purpose tubing flare tool that will do
45 and 37 (AN) flares, as well as double and metric "bubble" flares I
know it will probably be costly but I'd rather have one good tool that
can do it all than a bunch of different cheap tools.
