Is that a double Flare or just put the line in and tighten with the cone?

lol maybe thats why mine sucked I was doing a double flare as i have in the past with a matco flare tool. Matco tool worked perfect, this autozone unit is horrible. Its mostly the tools fault, for when you do the first flare it makes it off center. So when you try and use the cone the second time it flares to one side and isnt centered. Im guessing i just got lucky the last time i used one....
