SPIN F6000 6-Piece Drill Bit Flaring Set, 1/4’’ 3/8’’ 1/2’’ 5/8’’ 3/4", & 7/8"

Pretty interesting kit. I’ve been an hvac tech of 13 yrs. This is a fast and seems to be a consistent way of flaring. One issue is if you are making a flare on existing pipe in a place where you maybe don’t have room to get a drill in, but as long as you’ve got the room this works good. You definitely have to make sure you have a couple inches of straight pipe and that it can be held securely while making the flare. If the pipe can move around much at all it will mess it up and you absolutely need to be as perfectly lined up with the pipe as possible with the drill or the flare and the inside of the pipe will be messed up.Has it’s place like any tool. It’s not for every situation, but it does work!

I cannot get this tool to make a nice flare at all. I have followed the instructions and tried a couple of different things to try and make it work. I have tried different speeds with the drill and different thickness materials and the flares look so bad that I do not even want to try them to see if they work. For what this tool costs, do yourself a favor and buy a conventional flaring tool.

This type of tool was brought to my attention while attending an advanced technical class on ductless systems. While the instructor recommended using there torque wrench on all flares, he was not opposed to using this system to make the flares. As a service tech, typically finding leaking flares from the install, I was looking for a quick and easy way to remake flares in the field in hard to reach places. This tool will make repairing system much simpler and faster. Hopefully better. Although I’ve yet needed to use it on the job, I have practiced with it on the bench to get familiar with it. If it does what it says it does, I’m excited to use it.

There's not a lot of room for error when flaring high pressure refrigerant connections and these things are just brutal on small pipe. Doing 1/4-3/8 flares was just a mess. Tears up the flare itself even when you prepare the pipe real well. Also seemed to expand the inside of the pipe before the flare where the bit goes into, making to so I had to reround it with a crescent wrench just to be able to slide my flare nut down the pipe over the flare. Buy a real set save yourself some time.

Wow! Prettiest flare I've ever seen and anyone can do it!

This is my second set of the spin flaring tool. My first set were stolen and used my old flaring tool and realized just how great this tool is! If you do ant flaring you have you have to have this tool, it is the best one out there!

I’m a HVAC man by trade I use this tool all the time with no problem, great flare every time.

I tell every technician this is tool of the year, every AC technician NEEDS this
