Tradie Pro Tip

For perfectly consistent bubble flares, always ensure the tube end is cut square and deburred before inserting it into the tool. Position the tube flush with the top of the die, then fit the correct adapter and wind the flaring cone down until it firmly contacts the bar surface. This technique guarantees a uniform, leak-free metric bubble flare every time.
