What I did was buy a bubble flare tool and then whenever I need the double flare tool I just go to the local auto parts store and engage their "loaner" program to rent one. Many auto parts stores do this. You basically effectively buy the tool, use it, and then return it. It's worked twice for me (once for the 9000, once for the '86). I think cars with and without ABS probably have the two different styles of flare coexisting, so you can't blame ABS for THIS problem. Just get some nickle-copper brake line and go to town. The nickle-copper brake line really is amazing. It's easier to work, it's more "smushable" so it makes a better seal even with subpar flares, and it never rusts. Volvo has been using it since the mid-'70s, which is why, if you go look at an old 240 in New England, the only non-rusty thing on the bottom of the car will be the brake lines. Kind of weird/bass-ackwards to see that.
