"As a licensed HVAC contractor, I needed this adapter for a mini split install in my garage.

"Setting up a multi-head mini split, I made about a dozen flares with this tool. Every flare was spot-on when I set things up right. While it’s really a single-purpose tool for soft copper HVAC tubing, it’s perfect for what I needed—reliable flares for high-pressure lines."

"I’ve put this set through dozens of jobs in my HVAC work, and it’s been a workhorse—accurate, reliable, and solidly built. The clear color coding and high-quality hoses make diagnostics and setup fast, and the four-way design gives me all the flexibility I need.
