Sounds like your tube is being pushed back through the holder, Tighten the screws and or clamp it in a vice.

thanks

I borrowed the flaring kit and it looks like it has some miles on it. This morning I did a quick flare using the vise and it was pretty darn good. Thanks for your advise I plan to buy another one today.

New flaring kit and the double flares look good, thanks for your help

After you cut the tube file it perfectly square and debur before you use the flaring tool. Also put a little lube on the tube or die end such as WD40

complete thanks

I found the tools with the wing nuts just don't do a good job at holding the tubing.

Mine you use a wrench to tighten. I have not had issues with this one slipping.

After screwing with the cheap flair tools on stainless lines I am ordering this.

^^^^^ This.... Best flaring tool ever. The 37* kit for AN lines works great too!

I borrowed this kit from a buddy when I did my brake and fuel lines. This was so easy with this kit and the copper nickel lines. I was also able to do the GM quick disconnects for the fuel filter fitting. It was the 71475 kit.
