What these guys say is true.
I needed to make a couple of brake lines for a recent project and I'd never done it before.
I bought a roll of brake line tubing and a flaring tool and went after it.
One of the ones I needed was a fairly complex bend, but it came out great.
I was really hesitant at first, but I actually kind of enjoyed making my own.
