Review on Enhanced SEO: Capri Tools CP21110-316 3/16 inch Double Flaring Tool by James Stjames

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great idea easy to use but not great with copper nickel line

I used this tool to try and make some copper nickel hard lines to line a fancy hard section on a Ford to replace Edge. They were hand formed using a pair of bender pliers purchased at the same time. This tool seems well made and very easy to use. The flashes he makes may be usable, but even after practicing all 4 ended up with a bulge/crease on the back of each flash. The inner cone appears to be well formed but not as deep/wide as the factory flare, despite the port going all the way down. I didn't use these lines as I just don't want the rise/fold to go down over time and start leaking something. That would be an easy five, but my results were far from perfect, despite the tool being advertised as compatible with copper/nickel wire. This one returns. To update. Now I see that some other reviewers had similar issues with Cu-Ni and this tool.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some mistakes
