Appli Parts APT-FT278 Flaring and Swage Tool kit for Copper, Plastic, Aluminum Pipe and Other Soft Metal Tube with Cutter and Ratchet Wrench for HVAC and Other Applications

Todo bien y a tiempo,gracias

I used this kit in order to flare copper line sets for a mini split installation and it worked well and was very simple. This was the first time I did flares and this kit doesn't include any instructions, so if you're like me you'll need to read up on flaring and maybe watch some tutorials. But the kit itself worked great and had all the tools I needed.

I was disappointed in this set. From the description it says 'Professional'. It is not.The tool itself is made very well and has grips as good as the professional sets but even with all the extra Flare tips included, it is a basic single swage tool.I have only made double flares for probably 40 years. When I was a young mechanic I started off making single flares but when I started working in better dealerships they insisted on only double flares. I got good at them and have never looked back.So if you are a small town mechanic or someone who needs to do the occasional brake line repair, this will work. A few things to watch for:When you go to clean the burrs from the cut tube, be careful. When I did, I heard something hit the floor. The deburring blade is also the cover for the spare cutter wheel, so watch for that.The gripper is not ambidextrous. Be sure the 45 is on the side you are working with.Grip the tube with about 3/16" of tube to 'flare'. If you haven't done many of these, play with a spare piece of tubing before flaring the one that could save your life.This is a well made standard flare kit but I really don't like them using the word 'Professional'I hope you find this review helpful.

This kit is great for adding a flange to a copper pipe. It has a pipe cutter and multiple flange sizes from 1/8 to 3/4 pipe. It is suitable for many plumbing jobs.

This is a very nice and good quality Flaring & Swage Kit. This is the first one I've ever owned and it came with everything I needed to fix the hydraulic line on my car. It was easy to use and worked great. I think for the money it's a good value and I recommend it.

I tried using this on brake lines but somehow i missed the fact that it doesn't include any way to double flare the lines. It does work well on aluminum and copper lines for HVAC systems though. It includes everything short of a bender for working on tubing. No instructions included, so newbies will have to go hunting in the internet for lessons. The quality also doesn't feel professional grade, there are nicer ones out there but obviously more expensive.

Over all product is good , however on the smaller adapter , they put multiple small sizes making it longer . That would not allow tu e tip to go in my tube . I had to return it . Amazing refunded my money
