Performance Tool Double Flare Tool Reviews

Displaying all 2 reviews

The double flare adapter for 5/16 is missing the cone machining. The tube holding bar is bent in two directions. The 45 degree  bevels in the bar don't line up. The cone threads deform on soft copper type l tubing. The flare comes out lop sided. This is the worst piece of junk I have ever seen. It was all my local sears store had in stock at the time. I would not recommend that anyone purchase this product. Buy a Rigid 345 DL or Mastercool kit. They are worth the extra cost.

What angle is the flare?

There are two different angles used in flare tool world. One is 45 degrees and the other 37 degrees. The "detailed" instructions did not detail this very important detail. So now I will return it for a refund because there's no way of knowing how many degrees the flare is. Otherwise the hydraulic lines will leak if the angles don't match.
