Bonvoisin Flaring Tool Kit 1/4”-3/4” HVAC Single Flare Tool 45° 45° Eccentric Tube Flaring Tool with Pipe Cutter for Copper Aluminum Tubing (5 in 1 Kit)

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.

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 have used this flaring tool several times since i bought it. First off i love the color of the product, and ho it comes with a nice hard case.The tool seems to work just as good if not better than a yellow jacket/ CPS flaring tool.. and it comes with a std/metric bar set unlike the big name brands.The tubing cutters that come with this kit are awesome as well. They are speed cutters that cut from 1/4” all the way to at least 1 1/8” acr copper.I am looking into buying their hydro. Gear/pulley puller as well! Will do a review on this once i have it!It seems the more you use this product, the better it works so far.9-11-22A little update on this awesome product!! Bonvoison i am very proud!The flaring tool still works like a beast, and the cutters are literally the best manual tubing cutters i have ever owned. If i EVER need a new set of tubing cutters, i will be finding and buying this kit!It really sucks you cannot find the super stars cutters by themselves because i have had 6-7 techs/plumbers ask me where to get them from and i out them on everytime but you have to buy the kit to get them!Amazing product 👌🏻✅ still!

Really like this kit. Makes shiny, accurate tight flares. 0 leaks and the go/no go stop makes it a no brainer. Really nice kit for the $ and durable. I have had it a few months, keep it clean and it keeps me happy. We'll see over years how it does but I recommend this. HVAC pro by the way.

Very nice way to use and works great! Needed to make a few flares for a mini split, I’ve never made any, worked on the first one.

This is an excellent flaring tool - I have never flared copper before and i was able to knock out 4 perfect flares on the first try - I really like the clutch function (to keep from over tightening) and the length stop to Ensure that the copper protrudes the perfect amount for the flare. The provided instructions aren't the best but the video on the product listing (scroll through the pictures) is great.

Bought this tool for a mini split install. The first one that arrived was obviously used and I returned it no muss no fuss.The replacement arrived six days later and works perfectly and as advertised and is built like a tank.

Very good tool, works as advertised.

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.

This flaring tool did a perfect job on the line sets for the mini split heat pumps that I installed, and the instruction on how to use it were pretty easy to follow

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.

My guy is thrilled with this flare tool. We bought others at local stores that were crap! This far exceeded our expectations. We are currently putting propane heat in our home and need to to be done right and this is an excellent quality tool! Highly recommend!

Best flaring tool very easy to use.
