Super Stars Flaring Tools for 1/4in - 3/4in HVAC Single Flare 45 Degree Eccentric Cone Type Flaring Kit for Copper Pipe Tube

This tool was recommended to me by a professional. I am so happy I got it. It is carefully made. Looks and feels solid. What makes this tool so great is that the cone part is a roller. No lubricant needed. No rubbing wear. I leaves a mirror bright surface and should last a very long time. I had no experience making refrigeration flares. This kit takes no skill. Follow the instructions and it makes perfect flares. I check them with a go no go gauge and the 3/8 and 1/2 are right on every time. The 1/4 will be a bit over sized if the tube is pushed hard to the stop but backed out a hair and they are fine. The built in clutch prevents over tightening and then burnishes the face. The first few times feel awkward but after that they are easy. Do not forget to put the nut on before making the flare. My most common mistake. The tubing cutter works great and has space between the bearings to put a flare that needs to be cut off. See above about putting the nut on first. The deburring tool works well on 3/8 and 1/2. It takes the burr off the inside of the tube without beveling the end. Get some smaller blades to do 1/4. Quick easy and repeatable results. Worth every penny. Nice solid case too.

Very nice quality. Very happy with the purchase. If you’re looking for a kit to make perfect flare fittings, get this. I’ve never made a flare fitting before, but this one made a perfect one the first time. Nice and shiny and symmetrical. Way better than the factory flares that came with the coil tubing or the mini split for that matter. The tubing cutter is also great and so is the deburring tool. It’s a little clunky to try and hold everything, but it is a very rugged tool and produces beautiful perfect flares.

Well built, very smooth operation, worked WAY better than expected!

Worked perfectly. We tried to set up a mini split AC unit and realized that the copper piping was too long. Well those pipes are in between the sizes on most flaring kits, so we ordered this one. Much easier to use than cheaper flaring tools. I love that once the pipe is flared, no matter how much you turn it, you cannot overdo it. Very helpful for someone like me who isn't super handy.

Easy to use, perfect, no-leak flares! Used on 2 mini Splits to shorten the lines. Tried a couple of times first, but even the first two came out perfect. I like the addition of the slide to set the line to the right depth before clamping the tool. Flare came out to the right size. Definitely recommend.

This kit is very nice. I used it to install a couple of mini split systems. The only complaint I have is that the clutch is a bit high for the 5/16 line. Maybe it was cheap copper. I just went by "feel" after the first two failed connectors. Just didn't go tight enough to pop the clutch and it worked great. Larger lines it worked great.

Easy to use and did a great job flaring the copper lines I was working on.

It flared the copper for my 4 ton heat pump very well first try. I pressure tested to 350lbs and vacuumed to 450 microns, no leaks. It is a little tricky to hold the pipe while sliding the stop out of the way and sliding the expander in. Overall quality is great. It seems solid, enough metal that isn't soft to hold up well. The detent that releases when expansion finishes is probably the most questionable part of the design. Over time it might start releasing early. Great value for DIY
