    I flare .049 1/2” stainless with the Ridgid; it worked just fine 👍

      This is good to know. I thought I had a piece of 049 to test out but I couldn't find it

      ​​@@lonestarlowshave you found the piece of 1/2" .049? To see if the 377 will flare it.

    I use the rigid 377 flare tool havent had any issues with it. I usually use it with no vise and been fine. I use the longer rigid bender and makes tight 90 degrees. For deburring i have a titan deburring tool does the outter and inner debur. Great video.

    I just went thru this while flaring tool issues recently. I got 3/8” .040 heavy duty stainless steel lines. I bought the rigid tool and it would not flare them. I had a piece of scrap .035 that flared with no issues. Luckily l had a friend that owes a hydraulic and body shop who had a good tool. He let me barrow his imperial 400-F. That was the only thing that would flare my lines. I kept getting cracks at the flare and had to redo a bunch of pieces.

      I guess it's safe to say the rigid is light to medium duty, and the imperial is heavy duty.

      @@lonestarlows I would agree with that! I’m happy with how it came out but it was very frustrating! Oh by the way, I used on of your older hardline flaring videos to get pointers. It helped out a lot! Keep up the good work and videos brotha!!

    Got a neighbor trying to sell me some legit 72 spoke 14x7 Daytons with the gold nipples and gold plated knockoffs for $1,500 and was wondering if that’s a good deal. I called Dayton and a brand new set is $4k but idk if 30 year old rims are worth it

      Double flares are for brake lines ..these are 37 degrees sae flares

      You don’t have to double flare stainless; even on brake lines from what I’ve read. And yes, brakes are 45
