    Abstract: A flaring tool includes a tubular first holding member. A collet well extends into the first holding member. A collet has a primary end positioned in the collet well. A second holding member is coupled to the first holding member. A collet channel extends into the second holding member. The collet well aligns with the collet channel when the second holding member is coupled to the first holding member. The collet has a secondary end that is positioned in the collet channel. A punch channel extends into the second holding member. The punch channel is aligned with the collet. A punch is insertable into the punch channel. The first holding member and the collet receive the line through the first holding member and the collet. The punch compresses the end of the line between the punch and the collet so the end of the line is flared.
