Tools received in good condition. So far it has proven to be an excellent flaring and crimping tool. I haven't had to use it too often, but I do need to be more careful with smaller tubes like 1/4 and 5/16 and not over tighten the clamp rod. The yoke will of course leave knurl marks on the tube, just like other flaring tools, but I've found that those little knurls can get in the way of your flaring nut if you're not careful. Remember to practice cutting tubing before you start flaring or crimping real tubing. The rod also has a practical stop for flaring. That's good, but I wasn't sure if it compensates for 410a systems, which typically require a bit more flare area. The instructions for use are not that specific in this regard. I usually clamp the tube flush with the top of the stop just to be sure. So far there have been no problems. I definitely recommend getting this tool if you're going to buy one.
