It rolls the flare rather than pressing it. Great for stainless lines which are considerably harder material & generally don't require a double flare. It has a cocked cone with a roller bearing that straightens as the flare is formed & a clutch that releases the ratcheting "T" handle when it bottoms out, then give one more turn to smooth the flare & it's done. Considerably heavier than similar style flaring tools, but does a lot more & better.

I own several Ridgid Products and I expected this to be to the same standards and quality as my other Ridgid products. In this case it far exceeded my expectations. Very pleased with the results.

I’ve been in the plumbing business a long time. You don’t need to review a product that hasn’t changed in years because there is no reason to.
