Hand-Held Tube Flarers for 45° Flares
Form 45° flares in aluminum, brass, or copper tubing so it’s compatible with flared tube fittings often used in low-pressure plumbing, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. All of these tools have a flaring head and a tube holder that firmly grips your tube.
For consistent flares, style B have a depth gauge to properly position your tube.
A one-hand clamping mechanism on style C makes working on overhead jobs easier.
To increase installation speed and minimize hand fatigue, style E have an adapter that connects to cordless screwdrivers to turn these manual tools into power tools. An automatic depth stop positions your tube for precise, repeatable flares. A one-hand clamping mechanism makes working on overhead jobs easier.

Hammer-Driven Tube Flarers for 45° Flares
Tap this tool with a hammer to quickly form 45° flared ends in copper tubing. These flarers work faster than standard hand-held tube flarers but are less precise. A 45° flare forms a tight seal with a flared tube fitting and nut for low-pressure applications.
For additional stability, clamp tubing in a bench vise tube holder.

Hand-Held Tube Flarers for Single and Double 45° Flares
Create single or double flares in soft metal tubing so it’s compatible with flared tube fittings. Double flares roll the end of tubing in on itself then flare both layers for applications such as brake lines. A 45° flare is preferred for low-pressure applications. This tool consists of a flaring head and a tube holder.
