Why This Product Matters
When you're perched on a baking roof with copper tube hotter than a billy’s lid, the last thing you want is a dodgy flare. One click, two turns—that’s all it takes for a neat, tight flare ready for action. That means fewer call-backs and more time ticking off the next job.

Pro Tip
Deburr your tube before you flare, grab a reamer or fine file. It smooths the flare face, stops snags and micro-leaks, and keeps clients stoked with a proper seal.
