Double Flaring Tool produces consistent 45° SAE double flares quickly and reliably for 1\/4\" non-stainless steel, nickel, and copper tubing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact, all-in-one flaring tool is engineered to cut the time it takes to form professional-grade double flares while staying portable enough to use on-vehicle or off-vehicle in tight spaces. The removable die and simple operation mean fewer trips to the bench and less fiddling with adapters — the only additional tools required are a 10 mm and a 17 mm wrench. Built for technicians and DIYers who need accurate brake-line and fuel-line connections, it balances speed, repeatability, and convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tool make double flares faster than older models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Capri Tools design streamlines the flaring sequence and reduces repositioning, cutting the work time roughly in half compared to previous-generation tools.

Double Flaring Tool is aimed at automotive technicians, restoration enthusiasts, and home mechanics who need dependable 45° SAE double flares for brake, fuel, and other low-pressure lines. If you value speed, portability, and repeatable results on soft tubing materials — and prefer a simple setup that works in tight spaces — this tool fits that workflow. Avoid it only if you routinely flare stainless steel tubing or require fittings outside the 1\/4\" SAE size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this tool work with stainless steel tubing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. It is designed for 1\/4\" non-stainless steel, nickel, and copper tubing; stainless steel requires specialized tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What wrenches do I need to use this tool?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: You only need a 10 mm and a 17 mm wrench to operate the tool; a tube cutter and deburring tool are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Capri Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083872415902,"sku":"B08W8D3J2K","price":70.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/capri-tools-double-flaring-tool-front-view.jpg?v=1785837877","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/capri-tools-1-4-in-double-flaring-tool-1-4-sae-tubing-portable-all-in-one-clamp-for-brake-fuel-lines","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
