i know the tool is not the best quality and most likely won't work on stainless steel lines but would it work okay on stock lines?

reason i'm asking is i want to do the 1" ITR mc upgrade and don't want to spend more than is needed really...

can i buy an already flared line that will work for the 1" ITR upgrade instead of bending and reflaring?

do i need a tool for bending or can i do it by hand?

you can bend the lines by hand, just be careful with them and bend slowly.

If you have a small pully or two laying around that works really well for bending lines from my experience.

Harbor frieght is sufficient. Obviously not the best stuff but they're stuff is fine. My engine stand, hoist, welder and some other stuff is from there. I"m no pro and I don't require the best ****. Be reasonable here guys.

And yes, I have their flare kit and it works fine.
