So I've been trying to double flare some new 3/8 stainless steel fuel line and it keeps slipping through the clamp portion of the tool. I went and borrowed another tool and had the same problem. Even got some extra leverage on the nuts and cranked everything down tight. The line still slipped through.
I think I can still return the cheaper flare tool I purchased. Is there a better one that will for sure work but isn't too expensive?
Other option is to maybe use a different material and keep the tool I already have. I don't really want to as I already have a roll of stainless, but am thinking this still might be a more economical option than buying one of the expensive tools right now.
Thoughts?
