Works flawlessly. Some recommendations: 1. Measure twice, cut once. Aluminum tubes will not magically grow back like a lizzard's tail. 2. Read the tool's instructions. ALWAYS clean and lubricate cone and holding clamps after each flare. 3. Practice flaring on scrap aluminum tubing. Then practice some more. And again. 4. Do not overtighten the butterfly-type nut. Thumb-and-index slight pressure is all that is required. Probably even less. Practice some more to see the different outcomes with different clamping pressure. If you overtighten this nut and screw, you will end up with an unperfect, out-of-round flare at the neck. If you undertighten it, the flaring cone will push the aluminum tube down the clamps (specially if you lubricated it forehand). 5. Happy flaring! |

This is a great tool . Much better than another highly rated equally expensive flaring tool that Ive been struggling with . It doesnt leave any grooves in the tubing or sharp marks where the flare begins . I figured Id have to practice a few times to get a good flare, but after two flares I figured I didnt need to practice any more tools that easy to use . |

This is (in my opinion) one of the best flaring tools you can buy. I prefer it over other style tools, because of the rotating gauge that sets your tube position in relation to the flare and cone, eliminating a lot of guesswork and frustration. Since the gauge is incorporated into the mechanism for tightening the yoke, it only requires two hands to clamp and flare a tube, instead of three! That said, I removed a star because like many of the reviews, there is a tendency for the tool to leave a mark when flaring 1/4 tube. The recommendation to remove the edge is well-advised, and I think likely a workmanship issue that I did not notice on previous models. I had one that I had purchased through Spruce almost 15 years ago which did not seem to leave a tool mark and while I dont know for certain where that one was manufactured, (I left it behind in a move home from an overseas assignment) this one came in a box marked Aprobado, Hannifin De Mexico, which tells you all you need to know. Still, I would recommend this, as it saves a lot of stress, and is still the best option out there, in my opinion. |

Very good flaring tool. Using for soft alum tubing 1/4 and 3/8 OD while building Vans RV14A. Creates consistent flares with burnished finish. |

Can this tool be used to flare mild steel lines also?
No, the specs indicate it is to be used with copper or aluminum alloy tube.
Will this Rolo-Flair Flaring tool is ok for 5052 tube?
