Review on 520290 1 Drain Tube Flaring Tool by Sean Baller

works as advertised and has an additional feature. This morning I used this tool to install two drains. A few notes. I applied a small layer of wax (Johnson's Wax Paste) to the inside of the brass tube as a lubricant. Ancient torch tools did this to give it a correct look. For sealing I used 3M 5200 Fast Set. Be careful and clean the tools as soon as possible or you will never take them off. I had to "turn" the key vigorously (I'm 76). You might want the breaker to do the last bit. As for the other feature: I still have a few pieces of brass tubing left. I have another hole that you can use brass tubing for. I turned one end of the torch with the flat side facing the brass. The other end entered the brass tube and formed a flair. I tightened the nut and bolt in a vise and was able to form a perfect feel on the remaining brass tube. So I can use it in another hole on my boat. I am very satisfied with the crimping tool.

Pros
  • absolute legend
Cons
