I saw some of the reviews saying it was hard to use, or they had problems with the tubing splitting, and was little concerned about potential results, and given how inexpensive it was I thought I'd give it shot and I'm I did.
It does work well and I've had much better results than much more expensive flaring kit that uses bracket to hold the in place while section outside the bracket has tool bit forced into it to expand the tubing.
That always seemed to have issues with the tubing backing out of the bracket or the tubing splitting, annoying.
By how little effort it took to expand the tubing, Using the tool is very simple and I was surprised.
It took about minute to expand the tubing bit, rotating it about 8th of turn, and repeating until the handles are fully together.
Then it was matter of rotating and shaping the tubing until it was round and fitted onto another piece of tubing.
Very easy, or not being careful shaping the tubing to be round would cause frustration.
Great tool.. Toggle full review text aria-expanded= false role= button data-action= a-expander-toggle class= a-declarative data-a-expander-toggle= { allowLinkDefault true, expand prompt..
