Fuel line recommendations...

I just got an Earl's flaring tool. I believe the same kind is sold by various companies. Mine has dies for both 37 degree AN single flares and 45 degree SAE double flares. Pretty excited about using it.

That certainly looks like a nice tool, but man, that price. Buy once, cry once, right?

This is what I got. Different companies make this type of tool but they all look the same and perform the same. Like I said before. It was my first time making brake lines and fuel lines and I have zero leaks. The way this tool is designed there’s no if’s ands or buts about the flares, you flare it once and it’s perfect every time. The other cheap tools you can crank on the handle maybe a little more or maybe you didn’t crank it enough etc. also this one has the dyes for 45 double fare and 37 single and bubble. It’s the only flare tool you’ll ever need.

For tubing benders I used this. The nicopp is very easy to bend and most bends you’ll actually be making by hand because they will be soft bends. But in case you need a tight radius 90 or 180 you’ll definitely need the tool.

For rock guards I just put it on all the brake lines and fuel lines. It’s cheap and can’t hurt right? I got the stainless versions. Here’s links

Here’s the clamps I bought for brake lines and fuel lines. If your going to use the rock guard then upsize the clamps from 3/16 to 1/4 and from 3/8 to 1/2.

I try to get EVERYTHING from Amazon that way if I don’t like it or doesn’t fit or doesn’t function or feel/looks poor quality I can return it no questions asked for free!

These are all super helpful. Yeah, I definitely like to try to get what I can from Amazon. The flaring tool's price is a lot easier on the wallet over the Earl's.

I have also used the Rigid 377 37 degree flaring tool and it works great.

Looks like a nice tool that will do the job. Price is good too. I'm weighing this vs the TGR listed above. The TGR could be overkill since I don't think I'll be using 45 degree flares anywhere, although I could be wrong about that.
