Imperial Eastman...
If they are still around. Or Snap-On... (I believe these were made by Imperial back in the day) I have the Snap-On set for 45* double and the Imperial Eastman for 37* Hope this helps... |

Like he said above, Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool, hands down. You'll never go back to a manual flaring tool.

Re: Advice on brake lines
I would recommend copper nickel brake line, bends easy flares great and does not rust. Just got done with my car and it turned out nice. Tom
