flaring tool
Ok, looking to get a 37* flaring tool to do nitrous hard lines....what are you all using, recommend? What's the best one out there?

Not too worried about cost, but not looking for super expensive either.....

Rigid.

So simple to use a blind man can make a perfect 37* flare.

I used this hydraulic flaring tool from Mastercool:

It wasn't cheap, but it's easy and works perfectly. Tough to justify that much if you're only going to use it on one car, but I'm glad I made the investment after using it.

Is that only for doing double flares or am I reading that wrong? I only need to do single flares. If I spent the money, I'd use it on more than one thing...

Mark, pay the freight and I’ll send you mine to use and you can send it back when you’re done. I can send my bender too.

It will do single and double flares. I've only ever used it for single flares on stainless so far.

Eastwood also carries that same tool.
