Flaring & Bending Tools

Flaring tools are tools used in pipe fittings which expand the ends of pipe sections so the pipe can fit to the next section. Flaring tools are rated by their ability to form tight fittings and help mechanics fit brake, fuel, cooling and transmission lines. Due to the fact that many flaring kits add pipe cutting functionality, flaring tools are also known as cutting tools. These tools only work well with soft tubing (mostly copper) and not harder metals. In automotive industry, fuel and coolant lines often use single flare tools, which are faster and more affordable. However, since double flares can withstand greater pressure, brake lines universally apply a double flare for safety reasons. Toolpan.com offers a large selection of brand name flaring and cutting tools such as Mastercool, Robinair and ATD Tools at extremely low prices.
