    All the tools I've seen do both single and double flares since a single flare tool on its own is pretty useless! For a double flare you make a single flare first and then reverse the die to turn the single flare into a double one.

    The Sykes Pickant tool is a good one to get as it's well made and small enough to be used in situ.

    The automatic tools are easier to use but much more expensive and need to be held in a vice.

      I bought one from fyffe and mcgrouther for about a tenner. It does the job no bother. Ebay is as good a place as any i think. Defo worth getting a pipe butting tool as well, although some kits include this.

          Have a look at eBay item number 350163084371

          Not used this style of tool myself to say if it's any good but it's certainly cheap enough!

              I was looking at my brake lines..found this info about flares...and looks like i dont need double flare...is called bubble flare.
              Look here: http://www.fedhillusa.com/webnuts/common%20flares6.pdf
              Dont know iff this flare can be done with the same tool.
