YELLOW JACKET 60278 Deluxe 45 Degree Flaring Tool for 1/8 to 3/4 OD

Makes good flares but a little awkward to use until you get the hang of it . Make sure you secure cooper tight otherwise when flaring the end will push or slip out

I picked this up to do a mini split install where I knew Id be trimming the lines shorter. Overkill, but now I have it to lend to friends. I made about 3 flares in 2 sizes of pipe before I went for the real thing. My system pulled down to 410 microns with the vacuum pump on and held at 520, no issues sealing, perfect flares. Highly recommended.

So, I was referred this because many vrv guys who install the units recommend it. I cant say I like it. The reason is its not the easiest to use. I imagine if I use it more that it will be easier. The main reason I dont like it is because theres no clutch to stop you. Had to redo flares a few times. Id rather just use the black max. Its just easier to use and has a clutch. Im going to pawn this thing.
