Brake line oops

Agree, the cheap flare tools are... cheap. But it worked great. If I was doing lines frequently I would definitely consider picking up some of the nicer more expensive flare tools.

That abrasion guard stuff looks pretty nice, my stock lines had the same stuff on it.

Totally agree, for the occasional use the clamping bar style works great. Once you use it a LOT, or on some stuffer material, the teeth wear down. I had a few entire vehicles worth to do, so I splurged. It was worth every penny. I actually bought this as well, made the ends perfectly squared with chamfers on the inside and outside of the tubing.

But, like you said, not needed if only doing a few.
