Spring benders are cheap and work well. Same for tubing cutters.

The tubing flair unit should be the best you can get.

The ones at a refrigeration supply are about $30 and will last a lifetime .

The $1.99 at the hardware store may never work for tight joints.

Diesel or brake fluid is east to contain compared to refrigerants.

The refrigeration folks also have much more robust flair nuts , get a handful while at the shop.

Do it only once , if its done right!
