U doing something wrong then. When you use the adjustable do you make sure you adjust evenly on both sides as you lock the line . I know if you tighten unevenly it will cause you issues
No they are often garbage- I just had one work twice then loose grip. Drove directly to Eastwood and picked up their bench flare tool…yes it’s expensive but it works flawlessly
Grabbed one of these today to have one in my work truck. Damn thing kept pushing the tube out. I tried everything but still wouldn’t give me a good flare. The damn handheld one we have at the shop is ancient and works like a charm every time!
😮💨shhhiiiiit! That's why?!? I didn't know I needed to run the damn cone down in like a standard flare after. Fml I've wasted sooo much time redoing it over and over
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you only double flare steel lines and single flare stainless lines. Its been about 20+ years since i learned brake lines in HS so I don't quite remember.
Double flair is the strongest it’s usually what’s used on SAE standard cars. Euro cars usually use a DIN standard bubble. Both work fine but double flairs are a lot easier in my opinion.
