I’ve had it with the junk sets I have been exposed to. It shouldn’t take darn near 2 hours to do 1 line with 2 flares. With those cheap junk sets I had to improvise with my vise and CRANK the snot out of it to get the clamp to hold the line. I’m guessing I put 300 ft lbs on my vise to get that bugger to hold. I weigh 175lb and I put everything I had into it to get it to hold.

What double flaring tool are you using and is it great? I don’t want “it’s ok,” I’m going for top notch here.
Thanks.
