HVAC Flaring Tool (FSPIN300) Will Save You TIME And MONEY!

[@kingofthecrease30]

these came out 2 years ago..i saw a demo in the supply house...the salesman was not using a vise...just his hands...he said it was designed to use with one hand holding copper and one on the drill...in the field its very rare you will have a vise to hold it down...you could use a flaring block for stability...this also comes in a swaging bits ....i never bought these bits...im old school and like to use my flaring block even though i dont like flare connections...i prefer sweat connections...i have the hilmor quick engage flare & swage tool kit....thanks for showing us Nick 👍

[@chadschafer3890]

Thats because its not used or designed on hard copper. The supply house was using soft copper, and when used the right way it works amazing

[@TheOneshot78]

Here is a old school tip. Place a nickel over the block then push the copper flash to the nickel then tighten the block down and you will have a perfect flare.

[@johntalbert8227]

Thank you for that tip.

[@fatbuddycat]

I already own the drill so it makes sense to buy the flare bit kit. Thanks for the inside scoop Nick, glad to see VCG crew supporting new trades people too. Nice job thinking outside the box on this video!

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you buddy!!

As a plumber I use a ridgid flaring tool... it's super pricey tho... but I've never had an issue with it... hilmar makes a cool flaring tool

[@tru6803]

Don't buy Hilmar...great design poor quality materials...bought 2 Hilmar products and both broke...tools are cast aluminum...junk...you can only use soft metals with these tools or they'll break immediately...and if used properly with brand new soft metals it'll take a few more times before it breaks 😂😒

[@Metal_seer]

It's an ingenuous idea. If I had not just ordered a $92 flare kit, I probably would have ordered it. Oh well, thanks for showing it to us. Makes me wonder how many other things we've done the same way for years, decades, or even centuries , just because they worked, without thinking of easier, faster, or cheaper ways.

[@danielcontreras5238]

3 days ago almosy Buy a conventional flare tool Now I know how yo do Thanks USA GUYS AND VIVA México

[@adamstoolvids7926]

You guys should try out there swaging kit. It works exactly the same way imo you need a coupling more than you do a flare

[@madeinusa1576]

They got a swaging tool similar definitely makes it easy for sure! Good pick up. With mini splits will use a lot of 3/8 and 1/4

[@gerardosantamaria5671]

Yellow Jacket flaring tool is the best

[@truthofluke991]

Looks like it works good but having to put that much pressure on an existing lineset will cause other problems. The old style puts no lateral pressure on the lineset. It’s the same reason I use auto wirestrippers so I don’t have to pull on the wire to strip it.

[@VCGConstruction]

Good point Luke!

[@commercial_service]

You have to hold the line using gloves. As long as you use an 18v drill it swages in 2 sec. Been using this for a few years. The flare kit works just the same as the swage kit.

[@chadschafer3890]

Hes using hard copper, that why it doesnt work

[@aceseightsazhvacsparkyandg8138]

This is cool I have been in hv/Ac commercial since the late 90’s . And this beats my old block !

[@VCGConstruction]

It is pretty cool!

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Flare fittings are the first fittings to leak. I've cut out so many over the years and replaced them with braze fittings.

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

And I am curious.. was there trash in the pipe when you were done? Left over shards? Cause if so then another reason to not use it. Cause if any flare is vertical then the by product will be falling in the pipe

[@williamburling3229]

why do you believe the fitting leaks? do you think the leak actually starts with imperfections in either the fitting or the flare in the copper? gradually the leak opens up until the leak can not be tolerated?

[@dibroc8348]

Nick thanks for the tip. You seem to have a flare for these types of videos. Vince was not here so someone had to say it.

[@VCGConstruction]

😂😂😂👍

[@joshurmetal420]

Saves hand fatigue! Nice work bro.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Josh!

[@summitm18hvac90]

Hey, you’re welcome for the tech tip!

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you Summit!!

[@Taylor.S.]

Should've named the video "The Return of Nick!" 😂

[@VCGConstruction]

😂😂😂👍

[@sandman9379]

I have a set just like these but I use them for swaging bells and I’m assuming that’s some really hard copper u were flaring bc my 18v Milwaukee drill usually creates a 7/8s bell in less than 10 sec. what’s even CRAZIER is that my M12 IMPACT does almost as well as the 18v drill driver

[@rayring8679]

Great vid Nick I bought mine set 4 months ago love the set I keep way less fitting these days 💪

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice Ray!!

[@konamanstudio2447]

Yo Nick thanks for showing a new product when nobody probably knew about until you showed it keep it real take care of that little girl of yours and your wife and what did you think about my 11 + 1 Thor review

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you Kona!! I will check it out!!

[@meagaindave2049]

Mr. Nick....... we've missed you.

[@VCGConstruction]

Hey David!

[@craigf2137]

As an HVAC tech and from what Ive seen in the field. HVAC school is a waste of money. Just study on your own time for the EPA certification. Thats the only thing that matters when trying to get an HVAC job. Are you EPA certified? Can you pass a drug test? Are the only questions that really matter. Granted I live in Texas....but Ive had guys training for almost a year with me. Yeah we get guys from HVAC school. They can do a heat load calculation but cant wire a thermostat. Watch youtube lol. Figure out the difference between a piston and a txv. Learn how a txv works. When you charge by superheat...not much longer and when to charge by subcool. And OMG either wrap the lines with wet paper towel for disconnect the txv before welding. Ive told you a thousand times installers...lol Most new guys are put on easy tune ups anyways. Learn the rest in the field. If you have questions hmu. Anyways dont flare....use a couple. Especially if you are going from 22 to 410 on an old house. Use strong copper not weak stretched copper. If you are doing residential 3/8 3/4 7/8 is all youll in standard systems not mini splits. 1/2 if you have to replace a compressor. I put in my own minisplit are the worst lol

[@christopherschaller771]

Bro the intro music is no joke.

[@meagain6028]

Good to see you, Nick!!

[@VCGConstruction]

Good to see you too me!

[@UcantDnieMe]

The Milwaukee 12v Impact Fuel has 4 modes and modes 2 and 3 have 2,400 RPM / 3,300 RPM so a 12v clearly works.

[@stephenleepmg113]

Question on the F-Spin ? It looks like there is a chase that with the drill not precisely lined up with the pipe that the pipe could flare it self at an angle. Where with the hand flaring vise, it is always on target and almost no room for a miss flared pipe. This is the first time I have seen the F-Spin and to looks like a great idea. My though is lock the pipe in a pipe vise and use a drill press with the F-Spin. My idea maybe a bit of an over kill,. But with a drill press it alienates the human factor of wobbling or angels. What say you Nick and the VCG ?

[@VCGConstruction]

This tool is actually meant to be used while holding the pipe in your hand! I think what you said makes sense though

[@MicahFunk]

Hard to take a drill press on a roof to flare a fitting.

[@truthofluke991]

Great video Nick 👍🏻

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you Luke!!

[@sdrtech]

I wonder if this would work on the new 410A flares since they're 45° and needs to be deeper

[@jaimegutierrez9930]

Hey great video, question what hvac school your going to ??

[@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet]

Nick! You're a beast bro! 👊

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks David!

[@sonnyschade1299]

I don't know Nick, easier or faster? Possibly... But you can't double flare with it like you can with the traditional tooling for brake and fuel lines. Plus I would think that heating up the metal end may make it brittle? Possibly some one with metallurgic background could tell the VCG for sure.

[@VCGConstruction]

Spin says that heating up the pipe actually makes it less brittle and less likely to crack

[@wolfman1549]

It’s for Hvac not brake or fuel lines

[@sonnyschade1299]

We all end up using the same tools regardless of the trade your in or what you're using the tool for. I guess there's always a trade off for speed or quality. I have a hard time believing that flaring a pipe by beating it with a paddle bit into shape is a good idea. Maybe I'm just old. I guess time will tell, if they cause leaky joints.

[@wolfman1549]

Sonny Schade no. the angle of the flare is different. This tool is for ac line sets. Not for car brakes or fuel lines. Not the same tools

[@sonnyschade1299]

I know it's not for fuel or brake lines because it's not a double flare. My original post bringing up double flare was just to point out that the hand tool he has can do more then these bits and I believe , do it better. But thanks for your input.

[@JACs_Stories_and_Whiskey]

Nice man!

Thanks JAC!

[@victoryfirst2878]

What is the story with using the spin tool for home water pipe ??? A hammer swage work better than the spin since it it advertised for HVAC ??? Thanks

[@kevinklepp9526]

Wow looks like a great tool to save time great review thanks

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you Kevin!

[@dantheman9395]

I am just wondering the longevity of the bits

[@VCGConstruction]

I’m sure nick will let us know Dan The Man Solderholm!!

[@Gottextrastuff]

We've been using the swaging bits for 2 years now. Still going strong.

[@bill5206]

Your demonstration with the old style flaring tool is a poor comparison. That tool is used for low pressure system's such as water lines, etc. The correct tool uses a wobble flare tip and has a pressure release stopper, to not thin out the flare.

[@dewaltbialy8153]

Jest moc miłej pracy 👍

[@VCGConstruction]

Dziękuję Ci

[@bcarben93]

Yessir. 👍👍

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Bruce!!

[@haroldmechsner4492]

Has any of you guys have used this tool on fiel, like when flaring cooper for a vrf system? Is it really that good? I have my doubts.

[@VCGConstruction]

It works good on soft copper. If you heat up the end of the copper first and then use the tool it should work better

[@xavierstamps7765]

What kind of vice is that you are using to hold the copper?

[@VCGConstruction]

Irwin vice

[@sylviahobbs2906]

In the video, the patent number on the box doesn't match the patent number on the bit.

[@ankitpatel9957]

Is it available in india..??

[@chadschafer3890]

Its not designed for hard copper.... WTF are you guys doing

[@phiksit]

Yeah, It should probably get annealed first.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

Just for 37° flares. .. Don't try to double flare (45°)your fuel line with this.... Lol....

[@VCGConstruction]

Specifically made for HVAC

[@jimmorris8966]

Why video if your going to put your left arm in the way., always look at your video before you post,

[@dbehistun2767]

Cut heat time by damp rag?

[@VCGConstruction]

Good idea db!!

[@Gottextrastuff]

You need the heat to make the flare without cracking the copper. We use the swaging bits all the time.

[@dbehistun2767]

@@Gottextrastuff Agreed. Although this needs a Revist with S-spin with full test Vs manual (Flaring tool) But the cool down time may keep you from touching the pipe for longer than you think. Hence that Damp rag. 😃 or maybe with with a temperature gun to see how long it takes to cool down, or how many you can do until the First one becomes touchable..✌

[@jerrywhite410]

I would sold you mine for like $50 because I don’t even use it lol.

[@commercial_service]

Gary Black JR put your flare set on EBay for $60 and I’ll buy it same day.

[@kodiefreburger9350]

They suck they dont hold pressure for crap the swagger is good flare sucks though...also dont you short pieces of pipe with out a clamp or you'll be going to urgent care like my dumb self

Bro. It took so much time to make flare Old method is good

[@Ridehighfxdb]

Dude you absolutely butchered that flat with the flaring block. That was truly awful it’s clear you don’t know how to use it

[@richardevans8908]

That flaring block looks shit, good ones have a clutch in them so it slips when you have it tight enough so you know you have a perfect consistent flare every time.

[@Aldrizzle]

What the hell was that flare job lol. That wasn’t even close to a good flare and I most certainly wouldn’t be calling it “perfect”

[@saphiyas2397]

India availabile

[@shadabshaikh7472]

More difficult

[@tavisgogal6730]

You need to make a new video that actually shows the flare in process as it’s been made. You keep putting your arm in the way. DUH!!
