Like the subject says, anyone have a 37 degree flaring tool I could borrow. I don't mean the standard 45 degree ones, I mean the 37 degree ones for flaring AN line fittings.
I looked and the best price I could find one for is $60.00 USD. I don't want to have to spend that much for the limited use I'll need it for.

Canadian Tire have a tool lending program. Ask if they have the flare tool that you need. Princess Auto may have a less expensive model. Do you need double or single flare?

I've never heard of a 37 degree double flare tool. You're not supposed to need it for an AN flare. It's supposed to grip the line differently and double flaring is supposed to prevent breaks in hardline with seams.
I'll ask next time I'm there, but I'm 99% positive the Cdn Tire wont have one. The only reason you would use it is for hard line with AN fittings. It's even hard to buy one. Summit doesn't carry them, even though they sell Earls and Aeroquip tube fittings.
I found that I really don't need it anyway. If for some reason I run brake line in the future, I'll go ahead and buy one, but for the fuel line I'm going to run, all the hard line I'm running will be low pressure and AN tube fittings would be overkill.
Thanks for the reply.
