This 1/2 inch SAE flare tool set from AB Tools is designed for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts who require precision single and double flares on brake tubing. It provides a professional-grade finish for reliable fluid sealing across multiple material types, though it is strictly a component set that requires an existing hydraulic flaring tool to operate.

No, this set is designed specifically for use with an existing hydraulic flaring tool and cannot be used independently.
This set is suitable for copper, aluminium, kunnifer, and steel brake tubing.
The kit includes the necessary components to create both single and double flares in 1/2 inch size.
This set is specifically for 1/2 inch SAE applications and may not be compatible with metric pipe sizes.
Keep the surfaces clean of metal shavings, avoid dropping the components, and use a light coating of machine oil to prevent rust during storage.
Ensure the pipe end is cut perfectly square and properly deburred before flaring.
Verify that the 2-piece pipe clamp is tightened securely and that there is no oil or grease on the clamp surface.
Check that the die set is fully seated in the hydraulic tool and the pipe is positioned at the correct depth.
To begin, ensure you have an existing hydraulic flaring tool compatible with the FL06 punch and die set. Insert the appropriate dies into your hydraulic press, place the tubing into the 2-piece clamp, and align the punch carefully before engaging the hydraulic pressure. For long-term performance, keep the punch and die surfaces clean of debris and metal filings. Applying a small amount of high-pressure lubricant to the punch tip can improve flare finish and extend the lifespan of the tool. Always store the set in a dry, organized tool box to prevent corrosion.
