GEARWRENCHDouble Flaring Tool Kit - 41860

Worked fine but the tail to use it in a vice could be longer to get a better grip.

Great quality tools for the money.

I carefully read the reviews in about a dozen of these kits before installing my mini-split A/C and refrigerant lines. I'm so glad I did. This worked perfectly for each cut, flare and fitting. No leaks on the first try every time. It's worth the money not to have to do it over again!

Try a different brand.I bought this tool from a local store but am leaving this review to warn others to it's shortcomings.The quality and materials seem fine, but by design, the one clamping wing nut is too close to the die to get the flaring tool onto the frame to flare 1/2" size tube. It will flare other sizes just fine (so long as the wing nuts are tightened enough) but the design prevents the flaring tool from working with 1/2" tube.What good is a quality tool if it doesn't work?

good tool

Excellent

this tool doesnt work well, the bar assy can not hold the tube, when you tight the bar there are some great deformation in the bar so the tube moves out of the bar. I have to use a 6" press to close the bar and then I will be able to make flares. The 3/16 flare were al times out of center, the other ones makes centered flares. In this kind of tools I still thinking there is no much to think, only snapon, otc and that kind of really professional tool makers can be reliable in flaring tools.

Makes beautiful flares. Nothing like the cheap flare tools. Does struggle a little with heavier line. It's a very nice tool.

Made 11 flares
