Wostore Single Flaring Kit, 7 Dies 3/16-5/8" for Copper Pipe & HVAC

Pretty much sold state type thing here you know

This product flared my copper tubing flawlessly. Easy to use and it didn't cost much.

It is okay for the money. Variety of pipe diameters. Good for the weekend projects. It gets the job done.

Worked very well

Works perfectly

Easy to use and does the job. Takes a little to get used to how to get a good flare but just a little practice and you should be good. I may have gone a little overboard with my practice lol. Worked on every install so far with no problems. Definitely recommend.

I bought this to install a split hvac unit where I had to cut and flare the ends of 1/4 and 3/8 copper tubing. The first thing I noticed is that it leaves fairly deep groves cut into the copper behind the flare when you tighten it down. This is to the grab the copper when you clamp it down. It was not a deal breaker but not quite a clean look. The instructions do not indicate how far from the edge the copper pipe needs to be for a proper flare. That took 4 or 5 trials to get right. Seems on 3/8 tubing it is about 1/8" and for 1/4" tubing, it is 1/16". The other thing is that the tubing needs to be perfectly straight where you are adding the flange and for about 1" back or the flange ends up crooked and useless. I also used hvac oil on the contact area when forming the flanges as it seems to make a cleaner finish and the copper does not want to deform, which makes sense. Go slowly and tighten/loosen/tighten/loosen adding oil as needed, that gives the best results. Plus it makes it easier to turn. This is far from a precision piece of equipment, but for one time or occasional use, it gets the job done if you are careful.
