The 45 degree tube flaring and bending kit from TSX TOOL is a complete solution for professionals and hobbyists who need to work with copper, aluminium, stainless steel and brass tubing in applications such as brake lines, HVAC and refrigeration systems. This set allows you to make double and single flares with precision, as well as manually bend tubes up to 180 degrees.
Kit contents:
- 1 flaring cone for forming 45 degree flares.
- 1 flaring bar (yoke) made from heat-treated steel for added strength.
- 1 tube cutter for precise tube cutting.
- 5 adapters in different sizes (3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2") for tubes from 1/8" to 5/8".
- 1 moulded case for transport and safe, organised storage.
Main features:
- High-quality materials: heat-treated steel and chrome-plated alloy steel to reduce friction and ensure durability.
- Versatile: compatible with copper, aluminium, thin stainless steel and brass tubes (not suitable for hard steel or iron).
- Manual aluminium alloy tube bender with bending capacity up to 180 degrees, ideal for 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm tubes.
- Visible degree scale for accurate bending and comfortable use thanks to its ergonomic handle.
- Multiple applications: ideal for automotive, refrigeration, gas and water work.
How to use the kit for double flaring:
- Place the tube in the gauge and clamp it by approximately 2-3 mm.
- Insert the flaring adapter and turn the head until the pressure stops.
- Remove the adapter, hold the rotating head firmly to centre the tube and increase the force until the final pressure is reached.
This kit is essential for anyone looking for a reliable, complete tool for bending and flaring tubes with precision in automotive and DIY projects.
- Double and single 45 degree flaring for copper, aluminium and stainless steel tubes.
- Includes cone, flaring bar, tube cutter and 5 adapters for different sizes.
- Manual tube bender with up to 180 degree capacity for 6mm, 8mm and 10mm tubes.
- Durable materials: heat-treated steel and aluminium alloy.
- Moulded case for easy transport and storage.
Customer Questions & Answers
What are the manufacturing materials of the tools included, and what advantages do they offer over lower-end kits?
The tools in this kit are mainly made from hardened carbon steel, with polypropylene-coated handles for improved grip. Unlike basic kits made from soft alloys, these materials provide greater resistance to wear and bending, extending service life and reducing deformation during intensive use.
Can I use the flaring tool and pipe bender with 10 mm diameter stainless steel tubes with a 1 mm wall thickness?
The kit is compatible with stainless steel tubes, provided the outside diameter is 6 mm, 8 mm or 10 mm and the wall thickness does not exceed 1 mm. For thicker walls, the flaring tool may require more effort and there is a risk of tool fatigue. It is not recommended for thicknesses outside the specified range.
What precision and repeatability can be expected when making 45-degree double flares?
The mechanical design provides an angular tolerance of ±1° and maintains acceptable repeatability when the tube is positioned symmetrically and the screw is tightened correctly. The final finish also depends on the condition and composition of the tube used.
Does it require lubrication or periodic maintenance? How should it be cleaned after working with copper or steel tubes?
It is recommended to apply a light lubricant to the moving threads and friction points every 2-3 intensive uses. After using the tool with copper or steel tubes, wipe away metal residue with a dry cloth and, if necessary, use a soft-bristled brush for stuck-on debris. Do not use aggressive solvents.
Compared with hydraulic benders, what limitations does this 180-degree manual bender have in terms of bend radius and required effort?
The manual bender in this kit allows minimum bend radii suitable for 6, 8 and 10 mm tubes, but it cannot match the non-deforming bending capacity of hydraulic models on larger diameters or wall thicknesses above 1 mm. It also requires more physical effort on hard materials. It is suitable for light and medium-duty applications.
What materials is this flaring and bending kit suitable for?
It is suitable for copper, aluminium, thin stainless steel and brass tubes. It is not recommended for hard materials such as steel or iron.
What tube sizes can I work with using this kit?
The kit is compatible with 6 mm (0.2 in), 8 mm (0.3 in) and 10 mm (0.4 in) tubes.
What does the tool kit include?
It includes a flaring cone and bar, tube cutter, 5 adapters in different sizes and a moulded case for storage.
What is the maximum bending angle of the manual bender?
The manual bender can bend tubes up to 180 degrees with precision thanks to its visible degree scale.
Can I use this kit for brake lines?
Yes, the kit is specially designed for copper brake lines and other compatible tubes.
