Brake lines mostly

Brake lines mostly

+ heating oil lines, propane gas lines, toilet feed lines, and any other application where small diameter tubing needs a firm seal at the fittings.

Used to use tools like that on refrigeration lines regularly. Now it's mostly soldered, and they've most recently come out with a crimped fitting system that'll probably become industry standard.

That bottom tube holder is the old pivot clamp style that's the premium version.

The die on the bottom is an excellent unit. I've had one for years. I'll try to remember to grab the manufacturers name off it tomorrow. Funny part is I use it a lot. I don't remember it being a Imperial, but it could be.

That is a single flaring tool, brake pipes need a double flare.

I have no idea....Make me an offer...

Good timing since I'm in the shop. Mine is a imperial. It's every bit as nice as the 37.5 degree ratcheting rigid I bought a couple years ago. And like yours I'm missing the actual flaring thing-a-bobby. Does anyone know the technical term for both pieces cause obviously I sure as heck don't.

Die block and yoke?

 

[joelw23]

both flaring tools are imperial brass brand, made in chicago

All that's needed are the double flare buttons that are missing from that one.

Is the atkins tool available? Can I see another picture of it?
thank you- Eli

very few of the earlier consumer-marketed flaring tool sets came with the double-flaring buttons. almost all of them were just the two pieces.
no need to double-flare copper tubing to fix your oil furnace line or a water line in the house - they used SAE 45° flare or compression fittings.
double-flare sets were a specialty item.
so... that set there is most likely "complete" - just as when it was new.

Interested in the Atkins saw tool. Can you post a picture of the actual tool?
