I would add to your presentation info about selecting the correct tube nut for the different flares, the inverted (double flare) and DIN use different tube nuts.
Single flair instructions he makes a mistake if you watch close. First OP.0 Than OP1. and then he says do OP1 again,,, but if you look close he is at OP.2 This has been on here three years and not corrected. And single flair are not in instructions that come with tool .
Im working on a 2003 dodge dakota and the truck uses bubble flares on all its lines. I have this tool and follow these instructions but even though the flare looks awesome it doesn't look identical to the oem it looks a little smaller and the hole ends up being a little smaller too. The parts stores do sell a more identical to oem flared lines but the lengths are too short to be used without unions.

And what about stainless steel lines can it do them? Can it do 3/8 line? Or 5/8 line? If you did not clean the end properly you should of done the double flare again. I guess stainless steel is something you guys have no idea how to flare do you?
Ive myself never flared my anything.Why dont you show whw your doing.Lame details,and lame camera work.Cant see what to do with the tube.Or how you Insert It.Lame waste of time.
I learn so much from these videos.

Can this tool be used to make 45 degree flares for 3/8" and 1/2" copper tubing for fuel and propane lines?
Can the single flare shown at 3:50 be used with a 37* tube and nut sleeve setup? Basically 37 degree flare used on a double flare fitting?
We're not aware of the specific application but if it calls for a double that's what you should use. Always defer to manufacturer's recommendations.
@@eastwoodco Old auto AC compression fittings use single 45* usually for the aluminum high pressure liquid line
Damn would be nice if you guys included the single flare instructions in your manual.
If you have the option to double flare with the same tool why wouldn't you use a double flare? It's way less likely to fail.
@@eastwoodcobecause it’s 3/8 aluminum line for AC flare fittings and they require single flare 45°
From our R&D department:
Step #1: Use OP 0 as first step to align depth of AC line in die blocks
Step #2: Use OP 2 for 3/8” line, 45° flare
I'm gonna get one on Black Friday. Hopefully it's on sale for $150

not very clear with 3/8" single flare. my paper instructions only talk about double flares.

How about if you have a 72" piece with a lot of bends and have only a 3" straight piece at the end to be flared?
You figure out your total length and flare it first?
Basically you flare it then bend it.
What us the model # of the brake flare tool to be used on a vehicle?
