Affiliate Link to Amazon for a similar kit. amzn.to/3FxwlIA Also I forgot to mention, there is a specific tool to make "Bubble" flares and this tool isn't designed to make them.
Most modern cars use a bubble flare on brake and fuel lines that are still metal . A lot of manufacturers are using plastic for fuel lines but they are still using steel for brake lines. Never use copper or compression fittings for brake lines
I started out using those but when I started replacing brake lines on GM trucks with the abs module under the cab it was time to get a hydraulic flaring kit that uses a lot less space and can be operated with one hand. I love s.u.r&r ez bend brake line and their fittings which are way more robust. 9/16" wrench instead of 3/8" on 1/4" brake line and 7/16" wrench for 3/16" brake line. Makes it easy to get those nuts good and tight.

Great tutorial! Emphasis on proper preparation of the tube end ... deburr and sand smooth is crucial. Failure to do so results in hairline fractures.
1:30 exactly right with the “one-finger torque”
