“I did a fair amount of googling before buying this tool. I installed a mini-split several years ago and used a 'normal' rail-type flaring tool. The flair held for the AC cycle - but with Heat - the pressure increased and the flair failed. Cost me 300 to get it re-done and re-charged.My concern was figuring out the stick-out required before clamping the tubing down. With this tool, it has a stop - set the clamps to the right size, put the tube in the bottom clamp and push until it hits the stop, pull the top clamp into position, swing the wing-nut over the top clamp (which swings the stop out of the way) tighten the wing-nut and start the flare.”

“Quickly makes single flares in copper tubing. Does not mar the tubing or thin the neck. Fits in fairly tight spaces.”

“10x easier to use this tool than a traditional block-flare kit. Nothing gets in the way of the flare itself, and it works great in tight conditions. Durable and can take typical work punishment. (I've dropped it off of a ladder 3 times, not a dent in it. Still works.)Dont have ot worry about making a shallow flare, or cracking a flare because of too much material either. Well built.”

“I had high expectations for this tool. I just got the chance to use it last week after it had been sitting in my work locker for several weeks. After many attempts with it, properly de-burring to avoid scoring the inner tube and removing all sharp edges and lubricating the yoke, I keep getting consistent scoring on my flare seat. The tool does not have the advantage of a eccentric flare cone and it appears that the burnishing action from when the yoke is backed off may be doing the scoring of the flare surface. I also noticed chipped edges on the yoke. It may be from shipping… overall, im considering returning and sticking with an eccentric cone flare tool.”

“Have installed a few ductless units with this tool and it works better then any flare tool I have used in the past. The depth gage makes perfect shoulders, just debur the pipe and lube the die.”
