What's important in a flaring tool is how well the line is clamped w/o slipping and how well the tool centers the flaring cone to the line, i.e. how the slide fits against the bar is very important. Every autoparts store sell a bubble flaring tool and many of them are junk. I found a very good one at Home Depot of all places with all the important features I mentioned for $23. I think it was made by Brasscraft.
