==Issues with cheaper flaring tools==
*Single flares on soft (copper) tubing can be made with less-expensive tools. Double flares on steel lines require a higher quality tool.
*Cheap flaring kits may not clamp the tube properly when attempting a double flare.
*It is often helpful to further clamp a cheaper flaring tool clamp in a vise when attempting double flares.
