I'm embarrassed to think I've flared copper and steel tubing for 50 years and did such a lousy job on these brake lines.
Of 25 possible flare fails, at least 15 of them were initial leakers... I expected 1 or 2 when under pressure, not more than half! I'm probably down to a half dozen after 4 hours. I'd like to blame that loaner flair tool but I was the first user so I can only accept it as operator error.
