Default tool for flaring fuel line - what is it?

I think I'm going to add an extension to my fuel line to the filter on my H22 EG swap instead of bending it. So, what is the tool used for flaring the line called. Probably fuel line flaring tool huh? I'm going to hit up the hardware store for it tonight, I thought I'd have the right name for it...

ya, I tried bending the line first and actually it was pretty easy. Now, no problems with lengthening the fuel line. And, it only took about 5 minutes.

It's when you start playing with stainless steel hard line that you really need the big buck tools. However if you assume that somewhere in the future you will be doing it, you should shell out the money for good tools that you will not have to replace latter.

I meant that I slightly bent the oem line that was in the car. Sorry if I confused anyone! I would agree that buying quality tools is a good idea though.
