You "can" make a partial double flare work in a pinch, however, they really are totally different. I'll explain. On a double flare the back side of the flare that rests in the tubing nut is a cone shape. On an ISO flare or bubble flare the back side of the flare is flat, as is the face of the

I've never differentiated between double and bubble.   Double Bubble is bubble gum.   Both are in essence the same thing.   the double is just crimped down all the way. Bubble is the start of a double.   THe 110/111/112 used double. This is pretty much identical to the snappy tool, only about

Curley, the 123 cars I have put brake lines on, and for that matter several newer domestic cars all have had bubble flares, not double flares. I have successfully used steel line and AGS tubing nuts to make many brake lines. I have an Eastwood flaring tool that fits in the vice, and an Astro

I had a snap-on double flare tool.  It was still difficult to get a good double flare on the US line, and even harder to get a good one on metric line. BTDT...starting 40+ years ago.  That's why I prefer now to buy a length of metric line with the double flares already done. The double flare
