When I had to redo some brake lines on a car I invested in a hydraulic flaring tool and it was SO MUCH easier to use than one of those old style flaring tools used in this video.

A lot of people use copper for brake lines in the UK without issue, i've always used copper nickel as used here rather than plain copper because you can get the ends undone without twisting the end off the pipe. Plain copper tend to corrode to the brake pipe ends and then you can't get them undone without damage.

I’m in Canada and didn’t even know copper lines were a thing.

[@vicsprojects]

I've had a few people say that, what do you guys use?
