Fast, same flare every time

I was hesitant but had a project that required lots of flares daily. My wrist had also been bothering me so I pulled the trigger. Id buy it again without a doubt. Its well built. It makes dozens of flares per charge. The flares are excellent and consistent. Ive used it for 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and 5/8 and the results are the same.

This is a must tool for installing mini splits. Perfect flares ever time. And the one time it didnt, I called the company, they send out a new grooved 1/4 block, to hold the pipe better. And so far so good.

I own several flare tools, which are all hand tools. Making good flares are the key step on the installation of the mini split heat pumps. Every time I make the flares, I was nervous for making it too big or too small. I actually cut the line set a bit lager so I can cut the pipe and make the flare again just in case. With this tool, I have a confidence that I can make perfect flares every time. It is really a no brainer that this tool is needed for the job. I am so glad that I found this wonderful product. There is some improvement, however, I would like to suggest. First of all, the size of pipe should be labeled in both sides. It has only in one side and many times I had to flip it to read the size. In the picture, I used my labeler to print the pipe size and the clamp and to the slot in the case. I also cut the corner of the case where the power adaptor be located. The power cord is jammed and I was afraid that I may damage the cord. I used my oscillating tool to shave the corner so the cord is passed without getting pinched.

I got a few of these for our install crews and they love them. Makes perfect flare joints every time. Battery last for a while, but will need to be charges on bigger jobs.

I bought this because I install alot of mini split systems and this saves my wrists from the old manual flaring tool. Its expensive but worth the money. I convinced my boss to buy them for everyone at the HVAC company I work for. I really should get commission for this. I even convinced a rival company that they should buy them for there crews
