What is a "flaring tool"?
A flaring tool is a hand or power tool used to widen the ends of pipes or tubes, typically for connecting them to other parts, such as fittings or valves. The tool has a set of dies that shape the pipe’s end into a flared, bell-like opening. Flaring tools are commonly used in plumbing, heating and cooling systems, and automotive work to ensure a secure, leak-free connection between pipes and fittings. The tool can be used with metal or soft tubing and is essential for creating strong, reliable joints in piping systems.
