“So much better than a standard flare kit!!! Makes the best flares with less time and effort. Especially important and handy on mini split installs, which is the main reason I bought it. You can't have a leaky flare with a mini split and this will help a lot. Just make sure to keep the cone clean and oiled, I split one 1/4" flare pretty good but I think it was my fault that it was dirty and not oiled. Since then it's been perfect.”
