Description
WORKPRO Flaring and Swaging Tool Kit – Model WP303002 – is the essential professional tool for HVAC technicians and auto mechanics. This kit is designed to create precise 45-degree flares on pipe ends to ensure a tight seal and prevent gas or fluid leaks in braking and cooling systems.
Professional Features and Benefits:
-
Hardened, Self-Centering Flaring Cone: The cone head features high hardness and automatic centering capabilities inside the tube, producing a perfectly consistent 45-degree flare without metal cracks.
-
Drop Forged Steel Construction: The yoke is made of drop-forged, heat-treated steel to withstand high pressure, ensuring a long tool life even with demanding daily use.
-
Chrome-Plated Clamping Bars: The tube clamping bars and tightening screws are protected with a chrome plating to resist rust and corrosion, and to ensure the tube is firmly secured, preventing slippage during the flaring process.
-
High Compatibility with Soft Metals: Ideal for working with soft copper, aluminum, and brass tubes, which are the most common metals in brake lines and air conditioning units.
-
Comprehensive (SAE) Sizes: Model WP303002 covers the most in-demand imperial sizes: 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 5/8".
