Efficient Flaring Tool Kit: MASTERCOOL 70058-A Black 45˚ Eccentric Flaring Tool Review

The eccentric flaring tool provides excellent smooth, consistent flaring. When using this tool, turn the handwheel to apply pressure to the copper tubing. As the bell is formed the center of the spinning wheel will rise and when the correct pressure is achieved and the bell is complete you will hear a click and know you are done. This tool is for HVAC, not auto, which I believe are two different expansion angles.

This unit worked great and exceeded my expectations. installed mini split; I had to cut the lines and re-glue them. There are no problems with the pipe cutter. Very well done in my opinion. The flare tool made perfect flashes every time, as well as on multiple practice attempts before real attempts. The pipe cutter comes with a good quality deburring tool and a spare cutting disc. I found the eccentric worked very smoothly and the torque limiter inside the tool worked exactly when it was…

Broke the second time around. no longer disappointed. frustrated because it was a job I've had to postpone before because I got a broken one within a week. Now came the second, replacing the first, just like that. This product fails the quality test as the manufacturer would have you believe by shipping the tool with an expanded piece of copper in an expanding stick. It is not possible to flare a piece of copper pipe in the supplied flare bar with the supplied tool. Now I need to buy a Chepo…

1) I made a mistake and sent the first one back claiming it was used. The second came the same way. You will receive this product with (1) perfectly trimmed and flared flare in a 3/8" hole.

Baffled me as I'm not used to getting tools with scrap copper. 2) Eccentric Flaring Tool - five stars. Deburrer and pipe cutter - 2 stars. A pipe cutter requires a perfectly straight pipe. The…

Excellent quality, excellent price, arrived in 2 days (Sunday) as promised. My husband's last crimping tool was over 20 years old and just not very comfortable to use. "Clothespin" was worn out and no longer holding the hose, there was no clutch or floating flashlight in the kit. He is very impressed with the quality of this set! (And the price is awesome!) Easy to set up and use, the clutch works as it should. That's great! This set works more effectively than the Yellow Jacket set he was…

Overview Mastercool 70058A Eccentric Flaring Tool. I tried 4 other eccentric crimping tools before finally finding this one. I've tried 3 Chinese brands (crooked/offset flares, mismatched flare diameters; 1/4" sizes are the most problematic) and even HARD (broken clutch mechanism). I didn't want to waste time checking for leaks with a less flared tool to save a few bucks after dropping thousands of air conditioners. For about seventy dollars I paid this was the most effective tool. The only…
