Laser Tools has added a new compact design brake pipe flaring tool to its range. 

Laser says the new tool (part number 6728) is particularly suited to on-vehicle use, making it very convenient and a great time saver. Under a wheel arch or even underneath the vehicle, its small size, light weight and robust construction makes flaring brake pipes an easy task even when access is difficult.

The set includes dies and punches for the two most common brake pipe sizes: 4.75mm and 3/16" diameter and can produce both DIN single flares and SAE double flares.

The easy to use hand-held device features a pipe stop-plug and allows the brake pipe to be inserted until it can go no further. This sets the correct length of pipe presented to the punch and ensures a perfectly formed flare. The flare is completed simply by turning the punch into the cast body with a socket or spanner and thus compressing the pipe material. The tool is suitable for copper, copper-nickel and steel brake pipes.
