Review on A Complete Adapter Set for ARES 18019 Double Flaring Tool - Perfect for Copper, Aluminum, Soft Steel Brake Line, and Brass Tubing by Adrian Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good value quality product works well

The 3/16 pipe is the hardest to flare. This tool works well provided the tube is perfectly straight where it goes through the die. The pipe end must be cut square and the inside of the pipe must be free of burrs. If the tube is bent or not cut square, the die will push it out of the way when it is squeezed. this also applies to more expensive instruments of this type. There are other tools that are constructed differently and are more forgiving, but they are quite expensive.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell
