Flaring tool.

[davedew]

I bought a Draper flaring set, it was about £30. It works well but getting the pipe stuck out of the clamp the correct amount is critical. I found if I had the thickness of an M6 nut abouve the top of the clamp they flared really nicely.

Are you holding the pipe clamp in a vice when you try to flare it? I found if you try to do it without you can't keep the flaring tool upright.

Cheers
