Brake Tools:
Only the latest and most popular stock vehicles have pre-manufactured brake lines which are sold to fit. The rest of us who have older vehicles or who customize them will require brake line cutters and flaring tools. Note that the double flare is the only flare to use if you don't want the joint to leak.
