Are you switching out to AN fittings? I ask because stainless tubing does not take well to double flaring. I only do 37-degree single flares on stainless tubing. As far as a hand flaring tool, I use a Roto-Flare that is more commonly found in the aircraft supply industry. I've used my old steel SnapOn tube bender for many years...stay away from the plastic or composite hand benders because the stainless tubing can be rigid.
