How to make a double inverted brake line flare Part 2

Making a double inverted flare using a Titan Tools 51535 Double Flaring Tool tool is a three step process. This is a much easier way to make flares than with a conventional double flaring tool.

WARNING: This tool is line-size specific! That means it will only work with 3/16″ brake lines and it only makes double/inverted flares. If you have other size brake line or need a bubble or mushroom style flare, this tool will NOT work for you. You’ll need the S.U.R.&R. tool in the link below. It makes all the flare types of 4 tubing sizes. 

See this post on how to flare brake lines with the S.U.R.&R. PFT409 Piston Grip Flaring Tool Kit

Purchase the Titan Tools 51535 Double Flaring Tool tool
