Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hydraulic Exhaust Pipe Expander, 1-5/8" to 4-1/4" size, 10 T Manual Hydraulic Pipe Stretcher with 4 Dies and 2 Storing Case for Copper, Aluminum Tubes in Car Repairing

Quality flares are easily made. Every one worked first time.

Make a double flare in an instant. Just make sure that you have it on the right setting each time

The best way to go for the backyard Mechanic

amazing tool, i was holding off on running new brake lines because i didnt have a good way to flare the lines, the cheap clamp tools never work right but this thing is worth its weight in gold

Very easy to use wish I had purchased years ago

This thing is absolutely fantastic. No way to use it on the car, but the flares are so easy to do, in any material it's worth it's price tag.

Great tool, did what it needed to do but a bit on the pricey side.

Best tool to have, had trouble with Bubble flare till I got this tool.

Works flawlessly. If you are making your own stainless brake lines, this tool is a must have.

I have been experimenting with several different sizes and types of tubing. I have made GM and push-on ends, as well as single and double flare fittings. My only issue has been working with harder materials. The tool is designed for use with soft (copper/aluminum) tubing but the hydraulic press is more than capable of dealing with steel. The problem is that the dies can't grip steel lines tightly enough and may slip if used with hard metals. I believe this can be made to work by modifying the dies but that is a work in progress. I recommend this for HVAC work.
