single or double flare tool?
Hi,
I don't know a whole lot about flare tools and am wondering if I can get by with a single flare tool or if I need to spend extra cash for a double flare tool. I will primarily be flaring replacement steel transmission and brake lines.
Does the high pressure of the brake lines require a double flare?
Thanks for the help.

Double flare tool is required for all high pressure lines; brakes, hydraulics, power steering, transmission...
Besides, the first part of the double flare operation makes a neat retaining bulge for rubber fuel lines and hoses.
