    Use the power of an impact wrench to stretch the ends of metal tubing, allowing another tube with the same diameter to fit inside. This makes it easier to weld the two tubes together and prevents leaks. These expanders come with seven different heads, which are sized to fit tubes from 2" to 4 1/4" OD. Slide one of the heads inside the tubing and turn the hex nut on the end with a 1 1/8" socket to expand it. Compatible with both 1/2" and 3/4" impact wrenches.

    Tube Holder

    Tap this tool with a hammer to quickly form 45° flared ends in copper tubing. These flarers work faster than standard hand-held tube flarers but are less precise. A 45° flare forms a tight seal with a flared tube fitting and nut for low-pressure applications.
    Vise Tube Holders—For additional stability, clamp tubing in a bench vise tube holder.
