Stainless line is hard. I used a cheep flare tool for years, and it worked great. It would do stainless, but it was a little harder. I have since upgraded to the mastertool hydraulic flare tool. I personally prefer coated steel brake line. It will never rust, and in comes in straight lengths instead of a roll, and its easy to bend. All I buy is 6ft pieces.
you would think by now they would start making cars with stainless lines from the factory its getting a little ridiculous doing brake lines on 7-8 year old cars and trucks.
