The RIDGID® E-52 Hammer-Type Flaring Tool relies on its sturdy design to reshape tubing ends at a 45-degree angle. You can use this specialized tool to create the exact same angle measurement on projects that require water tubes measuring 1-inch in diameter. The pipe flaring tool is made of hardened steel. It retains its shape even under pressure. When you tighten the tool and tube into a vice this flaring tool holds its shape as the tube bends around it. Its long nose centers the tube in position so the end shapes into a precise 45-degree angle every time. This tool serves as a fundamental resource for projects that require flared tubing. The E-52 ships with a single unit. It weighs about 3/4 of a pound and comes with a lifetime warranty.
