Does this tool do a better job on 1/2" copper tubing? Most fail on this size due to too shallow a countersink, causing leaks.

This flare block is the only block our refrigeration company uses....Every flare is perfect....You can't flare hard tubing unless you anneal it first.....There must be something amuck with your setup

When used properly this tool will make good flares every time for all sizes.

I work with sheet metal also and this is not a tool for thin copper, copper is too soft. I tried it on aluminum and the metal collects on the bit. Great for galv. sheet metal though.

This kit DOES NOT include 1/4 inch. It starts at 3/8 and goes up to 3/4. However, I have bent 3/16 and 1/4 with it and it did not collapse the tubing. Depending on the radius you need and the depth of bend might result in a collapse. What's nice is the dies are made of a somewhat flexible material which minimizes the chance of a collapse. If you bend a lot of 1/4 tubing I would check into the other kits available. Otherwise if you bend many different sizes and only occasionally 1/4 this would do the job.

Yes. I have 1/4 tubing and it is very difficult to remove. 5/16 should work better.

1/2 inch works best you want the flange inserted properly to get accurate temp.I build smoker's as source of extra Income in my retirement.

It works with G 1/4 fittings.The G 1/4 fitting you use decides what tubing you can use.here is a fitting that works with 3/8 ID 1/2 OD tubinghttp://www.frozencpu.com/products/10033/ex-tub-601/Bitspower_G_14_Thread_38_ID_x_12_OD_Compression_Fitting_-_Matte_Black_BP-MBCPF-CC2.html

I don't own a 1/2 inch impact wrench yet. Have just been using it with small nail and brad guns so far. Works fine with them. Sorry.

Hello,if your talking about doing that to the threaded fittings that come with this faucet, no the 1/2 copper pipe will not fit inside the fittings. thanks Don.

Hi... Amazon sent me your question as a consumer. I got this connector and it works fine with a standard bathroom sink - the threads are about 1/2 inch deep. The real issues is that the threads strip way too easily - I'd invest in the copper fitting instead... A Phililps

Not sure if it reduces the pressure but I actually use it with a 1/4" dripline and it works pretty good.

The tool takes two hands. With a little practice it goes pretty well i have done many connections without a single leak i check every connection with the guage and found that the tool has to be adjusted differently for half inch and three quarter inch connections. It is a great tool but tricky to use in tight spaces

I tried it with 1/4 inch and there is not enough pressure to go more than a few feet. I wanted to do my raised garden. Spent a lot of time piecing it together and the connectors broke as I was setting it up, then it did not work after the first 3-4 feet. I took it apart, plugged the sprinklers into 1/2 inch and was good go to.

You should be able to adapt to what ever size you need. I ran all 1/2" copper to mine.

It is definitely only designed for copper tubing so I would have to say no. It is fairly strong but all the mandrel parts are plastic. I feel that even thin wall SS tube might be a bit much for it.

If it 'twas me, I'd just use a sander. While you can supposedly control the depth down to 1/16", to me it just takes too big a bite.

This expander expands from 3/8 inch to 1 1/8 I believe , it does3/8" , 1/2 " , 5/8",3/4" 7/8", 1-1/8" now that is only soft copper though , this tool is well worth the money , I have only had it a few months and it has already paid for itself ........

the addon is used to aid in the bending near a wall to get your proper bend usually bending down or close to your wall .here is a link to part of your question .I don't believe it will bend plumbing copper due to it being so rigid without it crimping it in some manner. I have this tool to use on hvac copper which is soft and not as thin.Not saying it can't be done though. Tube Bender Reverse Adaptor
