Super Stars Flaring Tools for 1/4in - 3/4in HVAC Single Flare 45 Degree Eccentric Cone Type Flaring Kit for Copper Pipe Tube

I am a Previous HVAC Installer & now a HVAC Service Tech. I have had the Yellow Jacket 60440 Flare & Swage kit for years and it has been great. It has always gotten the job done and made perfect flares. The only complaint i have had with it is that it is very time consuming and a pain in the butt if you have to flare multiple pipes. Now that Mini Splits and flared refrigerant piping connections are becoming more common, i was looking into getting something that would be a little faster. I have seen alot of these newer one piece style flare tools and they seem so much more convenient and alot faster. I didnt wamt to spend $200 plus on the yellow jacket one so i figured i would try this cheaper one first to see how i like it. I was very impressed at how quick and clean this tool flares copper. I can flare a pipe with this quicker than i can get my Yellow Jacket 1 even set up to start the flare. I love that it has the plate that stops the pipe and gauges the proper depth for the flare so your not guessing. It makes uniform, identical flares every single time, and very quickly. I did not notice this when i bought it, but it even has a anti torque feature that basically disengauges the handle from the flare piece. This makes sure that you do not over torque or split the flare from tightening it too much. I flared about 8 pipes total just for testing and every single 1 was great, even without deburring a few. Will see how it holds up over time, but soo far i think its a great tool at a fair price

This is the best flaring tool I've ever used. It takes all the guess work out and just does a perfect job every time. It’s easy to use and very well made. I could not be more satisfied unless it jumped out of the box and did the job by itself.

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

Spent a few minutes handling it and reading the instructions then made a test flare on 1/2 copper pipe. The flare was perfect the first time. It is heavy duty and well made. It took hardly any effort twist the mandril to the point of engaging the torque clutch.

Easy to use, perfect, no-leak flares! Used on 2 mini Splits to shorten the lines. Tried a couple of times first, but even the first two came out perfect. I like the addition of the slide to set the line to the right depth before clamping the tool. Flare came out to the right size. Definitely recommend.

Works well

Worked perfectly. We tried to set up a mini split AC unit and realized that the copper piping was too long. Well those pipes are in between the sizes on most flaring kits, so we ordered this one. Much easier to use than cheaper flaring tools. I love that once the pipe is flared, no matter how much you turn it, you cannot overdo it. Very helpful for someone like me who isn't super handy.

Easy to use and did a great job flaring the copper lines I was working on.
