The grooved tubing holes firmly hold your workpiece, ensuring professional - grade results. This tool can flare all standard sizes of soft copper, brass, aluminum, and soft steel tubing. Its self - centering yoke forms SAE 45 ̊ flare joints without splitting or cracking. The large wing nuts allow for easy and secure locking on the tubing. It can handle tube sizes of 3/16', 1/4', 5/16', 3/8', 7/16', 1/2', and 5/8'. The long handle provides extra leverage for better operation.
Using this flaring tool is easy. First, select the appropriate tube size hole on the tool. Place your soft copper, brass, aluminum, or soft steel tube in the grooved hole and make sure it's held securely. Then, use the self - centering yoke to start forming the 45 ̊ flare. Turn the large wing nuts to lock the tubing in place. The long handle gives you extra leverage to complete the flaring process smoothly. When using the tool, always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. Avoid using excessive force as it may cause the tubing to split or crack. After each use, clean the tool with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice any damage to the tool, stop using it immediately and have it repaired or replaced.
