Bonvoisin Flaring Tool 1/4”-3/4” HVAC Single Flare Tool 45° Eccentric Tube Flaring Tool with Clutch Limit Piece for Copper Aluminum Tubing (one piece)

This flaring tool works great for making perfect flares on copper tubing. It it sturdy and well built. The price is reasonable, and the eccentric forcing cone makes very nice, perfect flares on copper tubing. I have not used it on aluminum yet. I have used it on 1/4 and 3/8 . The flares were the perfect size and the clutch mechanism ensures you do not over crush the flare. The copper. insertion depth limiter ensures consistent insertion and the correct flare size without splitting the tube or making the flare too small. My previous flaring tool also would come completely apart. The clamp piece was separate from the top piece with the forcing cone. This one stays together as one assembly, but is easy to use. The indents and alignment marks make for proper alignment for flaring the tube. I highly recommend it.

I bought this to flare lines for a new mini split that I had to cut the line. Works great. Flared the lines 3 months ago and by ac is working great.

Makes great flares. Only concern is the clamping bolt is pointed steel and the body of the tool is aluminum. The steel damages the aluminum slowly with each use. But, it’s still working and makes great flares.

Worked great to flare mini split lines. First try no leaks.

Worked perfectly. First time flaring and all my flares came out perfect t each time. Super easy to use and worth the money

Best flair tool I have ever used, perfect every time

I hesitated and looked at a few of these on Amazon. I have used some cheap ones in the past. These worked awesome! Seems solid and I am glad I bought this one. Good value for the money.

This flaring tool has a nice sturdy weight and all parts move easily. There is a sliding depth gauge so no need to guess as to the 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch end protrusion sticking out as recommended for flaring. There are stops to prevent the eccentric cone section from accidentally sliding off the rails and hitting the floor which would mar the cone. Nice safety measure. I inspected the cone with my helmet lens at 5.25 magnification and there were two micro dings over half way up on the cone. They aren’t visible to the naked eye. I really don’t think they were anywhere near the flaring area and they were very small. There were no imperfections seen after inspecting my practice flares. The piece of left over copper pipe left in the tool noted by one reviewer seems to be a feature and not an indication of a used tool. Mine also had one as well so I guess they use it as a demo or quality control to make sure the tool is performing well. The tool does not come with a case but you can also easily unscrew the position holder handle to get it to fit back into the box for safe storage. I seriously don’t think the Hilmor costing over twice the price can be twice the tool. This is a good product.

I decided to shorten the lines on my mini split installation, this tool was easy to use and it made a superb quality flare. It ie eccentric so it makes a better flare than a straight cone tool and it has a clutch mechanism so you cant overtighten . Good quality, would recommend.

It does not come with carrying bag. Not recommended, because on picture looks good quality but un believable it does not have carrying bag.

I was skeptical of this tool but I am very happy with it. I'm an HVAC mechanic and use it quite a bit From hooking up ductless splits to gas cooper lines when need be. It has not failed me yet. My apprentice loves and it he has a rigid style on very similar but not as efficient and trust worthy. Great tool for a great price.

I got the product quickly and as promised by Amazon. This product is great. I am a refrigeration tech. Works like a charm . it's light too. clutch works good. the lock works good and stops at the precise point of each size. You can be happy with this. There was a 1/4 flare inside the block when I opened the box but I am not concerned as it could have been for product testing. Unit was mint condition. Buy this product. I like it very much. its worth it.

Really good tool for making a flare. Has a stopper on it for the pipe. So the pipe will never go too far or not far enough. Always makes the perfect flare. Yet to have a leak.
