Imperial Flaring & Swaging Tool Kit 45Degree, Price/KIT

I bought this because I needed a good swage kit. I don't like using swage punches. I have a really nice hilmor orbital flare kit but it doesn't come with the swaging capability so I bought this. Overall this imperial does the job it needs to do. I have only used it on 3/8 copper so far and I noticed that when I try to fit the pieces together it is pretty tight. I have used other swage kits that swage a little bigger and not so tight, but this is ok. I find it hard to clamp my piece without damaging the outside too much. I'm not a big fan of the way the clamp is set up but it works pretty good in the end. This imperial does what it is supposed to do and I can't complain too much about that. I was debating this over the Bacharach swage kit and I wish I would have gotten that one instead. I have used the Bacharach before and I like it better. As far as flaring goes, it is no where near my hilmor for flaring. I strictly neeeded this for swaging and I would much rather flare than swage anyway. If you don't want to break the bank this will perform your swaging needs however I think there are better ones out there

Does The Job. Seems Of Good Quality. Have Yet To Use It But A Great Tool Kit To Have Around When Needed.
