Super StarsFlaring Tool Kit 1/4in - 3/4in Single Flare Tool HVAC 45° Eccentric Type Flare Tool with Pipe Cutter for Copper Tube Pipe (5 in 1 Kit)

It flared the copper for my 4 ton heat pump very well first try. I pressure tested to 350lbs and vacuumed to 450 microns, no leaks. It is a little tricky to hold the pipe while sliding the stop out of the way and sliding the expander in. Overall quality is great. It seems solid, enough metal that isn't soft to hold up well. The detent that releases when expansion finishes is probably the most questionable part of the design. Over time it might start releasing early. Great value for DIY

I have been in the HVaC field for 15 years, I owned a HFreight flaring tool and a nice yellow jacket one. the yellow jacket was garbage from day one. caused a lot of problems. This tool is awsome, it has an automatic stop release so you cant over tighten, the pipe stop i figured i would never need but turns out it is convenient. I always lube the flaring tool with a single drop of zoom spout so it doesnt gall, and fastest easiest flares and most perfect flares i have achieved this fast.the handle is large so your not struggling toward the end, little physical force.its very solid. I believe this will last close to when i retire. I will buy this for my next one.Just to clarify i pulled my scrap 3/4,1/2,and 3/8 and flared all of those before posting this.

This makes it foolproof to make good flares. I just used this the other day to install mini split lineset. I needed a little longer than what I was given with the unit. I cut and flared both sides of 5/8 and 1/4 copper lines. This makes it simple the clutch on the flare tool pops when it's done. The die has a depth stopper. Only issue I had was removing the flare tool from the die it seems to stick at the end. The flares looked perfect and none leak. The tools seem like good quality and the case is great. The reamer has a spare blade in the handle. Definitely recommend

Works very well and creates a clean flare

great item

Bought this and used it several times. Made a good flare but it seemed a bit unwieldy as I was using it for the 3/4" copper pipes. I had a hard time getting the head over the end piece and the stopper kept getting in the way. Other wise, it worked well

I was originally going to order just the flare tool because I needed to flare the 1/4" line as part of my mini split heat pump install. I decided to buy the kit thinking that a decent tubing cutter and de-burring tool would be nice. First the cutter--it is mammoth,but worked fantastically! As for the flare tool, it wasn't clear to me how to place the flare tool over the block but I some got it on. The guard that ensures the right amount of pipe sticks through the block is nice. I did add a small amount more was was recommended by another buyer. The actual flaring operation went smooth and the clutch stopped from over pressing the pipe. This was a great buy--I was able to vacuum my system down to 170 microns and it works great!

I like the sliding gauge that keeps copper protruding at the proper height before flaring helps give consistent flares on copper tubing also like how you cannot over tighten while flaring it has a slip feature that doesn’t allow you to over flare or split your tubing. Easy to uses
