Fuel line flair

that's what my first one was. used to put the tubing clamp in the vise to get it tight enough so the tubing wouldn't slip out
 
I won an old snap on flare tool which was made by imperial on ebay. It arrived today and I ran in the shop to try it. what a nice old American made tool it even feels right when you hold it. So I cut off a piece of tube and gave it a try. when I went to place the clamp over the 5/16 adapter it wouldnt fit (see photos) the clamp, screw piece is so short the point is actually in the hole when set right. Dagnabit!

Will the cone come off the jack screw? I wonder if that has been changed for some reason? Looks like the wear pattern on the cone matches the adapter. Weird. I'd start by contacting the seller if someone here doesn't solve it for you. If they swapped parts or sold a mismatched tool that is grounds for a return/refund.

The cone comes off I was trying to figure if you made the first press without the cone then the cone for the double?
 
Even without the cone it doesnt quite make it. I already contacted the seller.

I'm thinking that is probably it if the end of the screw has a profile that will fit the adapter with the cone off.
