A cheaper flaring tool can be used with the Nicole/copper tubes that are available. The tubing is soft and bends easily. It's a dream to work with and doesn't rust like steel brake tubing.
If you are going to also be using stainless tubing then a high quality flaring tool is needed. Double flaring stainless tubing is difficult. I used Rigid flaring tools in my profession and bought them for use personally at home as well.
Audi, Porsche, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Other OEM manufacturers now use the nickle/copper brake lines. Hopefully Fran will switch over too in the future.
