Built for copper, aluminum, brass, magnesium and soft steel, the set targets the common single-flare joints used on mini-split systems, heat pumps, central air conditioning, and many automotive fuel and brake lines. All components store in a rugged blow-molded case, so you have a portable, repeatable solution without renting large hydraulic machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit make clean 45° single flares consistently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit's hardened flaring cone and heat-treated flaring bars guide metal deformation precisely to produce uniform 45° single flares. A low-friction chrome swivel and the included ratchet wrench let you control torque consistently, reducing chatter and uneven flares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-treated steel cone for accurate angle formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual flaring bars to lock tubing and prevent slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome swivel reduces friction for smoother flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRatchet wrench provides repeatable, controlled torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this work on my mini-split or automotive brake lines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the kit covers the common outer diameters and metals used by major HVAC and many automotive systems, producing standard single flares required for most fittings. Note it is designed for soft metals and single flares only, not double flares or very hard materials such as iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTube size range: 1\/8\" to 3\/4\" O.D.
