Really not sure, I bought this tool for flaring soft copper tubing for natural gas lines as I am a plumber ,sorry wasnt much help...good luck !

1/4 inch, .050 hard stainless, and it took a lot of work. Done about 100 flares with it, and it needs an 18" adjustable wrench to turn it. Not broken yet !

Yes, it will flare S.S. I've used it on multiple fuel lines and it's worth the money. .035 wall is the thickness I've tried.

Yes, it will do a 37 degree flare in stainless. I have used it for AN fittings on 3/16" brake lines with no problem. Larger or thicker stainless is possibly going to take concealable more effort to turn the handle. Bending the stainless was harder for me than doing the flare. Worse for me was remembering to put the fitting on before flaring!

Yes the metal in the blade 420hc stainless steel I believe the 154cm is the thickness of the blade I really like it I have used one for years.for the price and quality I brought three of them you can't go wrong I use mine for deer

Yes. It is pretty thick and the adhesive is extremely strong. I used it on some furnace leaks and it worked like a charm.

I am not sure because have no clue how thick 16 gauge steel is but i bought and used it on duct work to cut access holes for duct cleaning. Much of the duct work i cut was very old and thick and never i had a problem. I highly recommend you use a drill with an actual electric plug. Cordless drills didnt work well for me.

it is intended to bend soft copper tubing. i doubt that it would hold up bending stainless steel. much of the tubing holding parts are a hardened plastic.

It can drill any material a corded version of a medium duty could. Very strong drill for the standard type that it is. Good on wood, metals, plastics. I haven't found a drill yet that is great for stainless steel, that is more in the technique you use. I would not recommend this for mixing heavy thick materials such as large batches of grout, drywall mud, etc. You need a heavy duty type for mixing those items or you will burn most drills up. I also would not recommend for drilling concrete, it could probably do it but best to use a hammer drill. This is a great unit for what it is, just keep in mind they make hammer drills, high torque drills, impact drills, etc. for a reason...each has a purpose and application.

It's intended for nylon cable ties...sometimes referred to a "zip ties". I've never seen stainless steel cable ties...and if you are looking for something to tighten and cut steel strapping (as used on pallets and crates), this isn't what you are looking for. No idea about how much force it puts on the cable ties...it's adjustable, but only in numbers...1, 2, 3, which aren't in any specific units.

RSK said on November 16, 2014 | EditNo I don't believe that the handle could take the pressure needed to punch through that hard and thick of a metal. I have used this device on what it was intended to be used on (sheet metals) and it works very nicely. For one, the punch itself is flat and has a centering point. Something as thick as a quarter would no doubt work better with a punch that was slanted so that the entire circumference of the hole wouldn't be met all at once.The handle and device in general are well constructed. It is simply not intended for that type of metal.

It is not stainless steel; I have worked with products similar to this. I used a magnet to check even though it's too shiny for stainless steel. Stainless would be physically heavier, too.

We just use ours for aluminum. O625" thick max. It does OK. on that, but no thicker. The smaller the hole the easier it works. If you are doing mass quantities, I would look to another method.

As for the weight I know it can, but some stainless steel is magnetic and other types are not. So it really depends on what type of stainless you have. Hope that helps.

How ever thick you want. This is one of the best kitchen tools I have ever bought. You will not be disappointed.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

Sorry, i have no idea! But i would guess this is not the tool for sheet metal unless you got a special blade for thin metal stock.

Iodinate know, handles very well, its heavy but I can't tell if its steel. Its like a strong carbon fibre handle.

"Most powerful?" Probably not. But it does the job quickly and well. You might look up Binford Tools and see if they make one.
