Swaging & Flaring Tools

The Flaring & Swaging Tools category includes the precision tools HVAC technicians use to create flare connections and expanded tube ends for copper refrigeration piping. These tools ensure leak-free joints and factory-level fit for mini-split, heat pump and VRF installations.

This collection includes manual and ratcheting flaring tools, block flaring sets, swaging punches, expander heads, forged swaging tools, eccentric flaring tools, heat-assisted expanders and combo flare/swage kits. These tools are essential for line set installation, flared service valves, R-410A/R-32 systems, metering device connections, and joining tubing without fittings.

  • Flaring tools & kits for 45° flare fittings used in HVAC/R.
  • Swaging tools & expanders to form cup ends for brazing.
  • Eccentric flaring tools for precise, crack-resistant flares.
  • Ratcheting & battery flaring tools for fast, uniform flares.
  • Heat-assisted expanders for larger-diameter copper tubing.

When selecting flaring and swaging tools, consider tubing size range, R-410A flare rating, eccentric vs. standard design, hardened yokes, smooth cone finish, and whether a ratcheting or powered mechanism is preferred. Precision flares reduce leaks, callbacks and refrigerant loss.

Pro tip: Always deburr and clean the copper tube before flaring. Use a drop of refrigerant-grade oil on the cone and create flares slowly to prevent cracking—especially on R-410A systems which require tighter tolerances.
