Why Choose Hilmor for HVAC, Refrigeration & Piping Work?

Hilmor has a long reputation for precision, durability and smart design, with many tools offering extended or even limited lifetime warranties direct from the manufacturer. Paired with HVAC Shop’s trade focus and support, this makes Hilmor a solid choice for:

• HVAC/R technicians and apprentices
• Plumbers and mechanical services contractors
• Facility managers and real estate maintenance teams
• Serious DIYers who want trade-grade gear

Expect grippy handles, clear markings, rugged housings and a focus on tight joints, accurate vacuums and proper charge weights – all of which help reduce call-backs and keep systems running closer to spec.

Key Hilmor Tools in This Collection

1. Tube & Pipe Benders

For clean, repeatable bends on refrigeration and HVAC copper, Hilmor benders are a go-to for many fridgies and installers.

• Tri-tube benders like the Hilmor 1839026 Tri-Tube Bender and related sizes deliver accurate bends up to 180°, with calibrated markings and non-slip grips that reduce fatigue.
• For heavier work, the Hilmor CM35 A-Frame Bender offers extra stability when running risers or larger linesets.

2. Flaring & Swaging Tools

Good flares mean fewer leaks, fewer warranty headaches and better system efficiency, especially on R32 and R410A systems.

• Hilmor flaring tools and flare/swage kits are designed to create precise, repeatable flares that seal properly on modern refrigerants.
• Choose your kit to match the soft copper sizes and flare nuts you’re working on so you stay within manufacturer specs.

To build out a full flaring setup, explore our Flaring and Swaging Kits range alongside this Hilmor collection.

3. Nitrogen Purge & Lineset Cleaning

Clean, dry, oxygen-free pipework is essential if you want systems to last and perform as designed.

• The Hilmor HMNPT01 Nitrogen Purge Tool makes nitrogen purging during brazing simple, with dial-in flow and rugged construction that’s built for daily use.
• For heavily used or retrofit lines, the Hilmor HLC007 Refrigerant Lineset Cleaner helps flush out contaminants before evacuation and charging, reducing acids, restrictions and future warranty dramas.

Used correctly, this gear supports good brazing practice and helps systems stay efficient over the long term.

4. Refrigerant Scales

Accurate weighing is critical for both performance and efficiency, especially on inverter-driven and high-SEER equipment.

• The Hilmor RSWL220 Wireless Refrigerant Scale combines fine resolution readings with a wireless handheld and rugged case, perfect for rooftops and plant rooms.
• The Hilmor RSW220 Wired Refrigerant Scale delivers stable, accurate readings with a rubberised platform and 0.2 oz (≈5 g) resolution for reliable charging and recovery.

Proper charging helps systems meet energy-efficiency expectations and reduces call-backs due to under or over-charging.

5. Vacuum Gauges & Deep Evacuation

Deep vacuum is one of the most important steps in any quality install or major repair.

• The Hilmor CVG1200 Compact Vacuum Gauge is a robust, trade-ready gauge designed for daily use and accurate evacuation readings.
• The Hilmor 1950217 Wireless Vacuum Gauge adds Bluetooth so you can monitor microns from a convenient position while you manage other tasks.

Pair Hilmor gauges with best-practice evacuation techniques to help meet Australian guidance on efficient, well-maintained HVAC systems.

6. Leak Detection, Fin Combs, Mirrors & Work Lights

Detail tools make day-to-day service work faster and neater:

• Hilmor Fin Comb Tools offer multiple FPI options in one kit and come with a limited lifetime warranty, ideal for straightening and maintaining condenser and evaporator fins.
• Hilmor telescoping mirrors make inspecting joints, tags and hard-to-reach fittings easier in cramped spaces.
• Compact work lights such as the Hilmor HMCWL150 Compact Work Light provide bright, portable lighting without dragging in extra site lights.

Compliance, Safety & Best-Practice HVAC Work

Hilmor tools don’t replace licences or Australian standards – they simply help you work to them more easily and consistently.

• ARCtick licensing: refrigerant handling in Australia must be carried out by appropriately licensed technicians. Hilmor tools support those techs in doing high-quality, low-leak work.
• NCC and energy efficiency: the National Construction Code (NCC) and government HVAC efficiency guides emphasise safe, reliable, efficient systems. Tight flares, deep vacuums and accurate charges are a big part of delivering that.

Using quality Hilmor gear alongside Australian HVAC efficiency and maintenance guidance helps systems run closer to spec and reduces lifetime energy use for your customers.
