It's hard to bend and you'll have a few bruises but it sure looks nice.

I have the Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool, and don't think I could have done this job without it. It's also sold by Snapon and others under their own name.
I just did my ‘69 firebird in 100% stainless fuel, brake, and trans lines. I used the Eastwood pro brake flaring tool and it worked fine. You need to put some muscle in it for sure. It’s still not cheap, but $100 less than the mastercool tool.

The PO did my whole truck in copper-nickel, I like the look of stainless but not enough to redo them.
