Which tube sizes are compatible with this flaring tool?

The flaring bar accommodates tube sizes 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4".

Which pipe materials can you flare with this tool?

You can flare steel, stainless steel, hard copper, and brass tubing up to a wall thickness of 0.035" (0.9 mm).

What type of flare does this tool produce?

It creates precise 45° SAE flares.

What is the benefit of the built-in ratcheting mechanism?

The ratcheting handle reduces physical effort and simplifies rotation, particularly in confined workspaces.

How does this tool achieve a smooth and uniform flare wall?

The hardened steel flaring cone is eccentrically mounted on needle bearings, creating a rolling burnishing action.

Smooth flares with minimal effort

Practical benefits

Effortless Ridgid ratchet handle: The integrated ratcheting mechanism lets you turn smoothly with less motion, especially when operating in confined spaces.
Uniform wall thickness: An eccentrically mounted hardened steel cone rolls smoothly over tubing walls to produce clean flares without galling.
Automatic clutch release: The handle clutch automatically disengages once the flare is complete to iron and finish the surface evenly.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Ridgid 458R precision flaring tool, you can create smooth 45° sae flares on tubing from 1/8" to 3/4" with minimal effort. The built-in ratcheting handle simplifies rotation and reduces strain, making it ideal when working in tight spaces on hvac and refrigeration lines. Featuring an eccentrically mounted hardened steel cone, the tool rolls smoothly to flare steel, stainless steel, brass, and hard copper tubing up to 0.9 mm wall thickness without galling. Once the flare is complete, the handle clutch automatically disengages to iron and burnish the flare face evenly, ensuring reliable, leak-free connections every time.
