Mine is the Plews brand which I bought at a big Napa-like supplier
locally. It cost just under $50 a few years ago. Anyway, I've used it
a lot and have always been able to produce great double and bubble
flares. Before I bought the Plews, I tried ones from Harbor Freight and
Sears Craftsman but returned them because they were trash. The Plews is
professional quality.

Subject: Re: Help Please, brake line leak
.. and what flaring tool do the pros use?? I have gone through a few
of the NAPA ones and I don't believe for a second that a pro uses one
of those.. so.. who knows of a pro type flaring tool?
