On steel, if the metal isn't bunched up first, it will split on the flare. Softer metals, like copper, doesn't have this problem.. generally.

@@AutoDrdiy I have gotten away with just using the flare on steel many times. Just have to heat it up a bit or leave it in the sun. Saves some time if you need to
