Amen. When it comes to brakes or other safety equipment, I don't like
to mess around. To me, it's just not worth it.

Is there a good kit/tool for making nice double flares on steel tubing?
I'll pay good money for one that produces repeatable, quality flares. I
have a cheesy little parts-store kit that has a tendency to amplify user
error and produce very inconsistent results.

This thread is one of the reasons I continue to subscribe to the DML.
Where else could one get into a serious, interesting discussion of
compression fittings?
