- Most reports on these tools are disappointing. I have had similar experiences with slipping. The only one that has had rave reviews was made by Snap-On. They are sold by independent Snap-On travelin

- Hi Jim. I redid my entire brake lines in both double flare and bubble for my brake system. The old brake lines are hard for whatever reason. I would suggest you go to the parts store and buy a short

- Jim, don't know if you saw my email on the subject, but contrary to what others may say, I used a Snap-On flaring tool and it was the only one that worked on the bubble flare. Ridgid makes fine tools
