Oakes Flaring and Bending Tools

Oakes’ specialist range of tools incorporates unique products which are recognised throughout the industry for their quality, reliability and accuracy.

Universal Flaring Tool

The Universal tool (pictured above right) is capable of producing all SAE and DIN flares as well as the special flares used by Citroen and Rolls-Royce. Vice mounted, with nothing to set or adjust, pipe positioning is automatic and there is a fail-safe method for locating the unique hardened wedge-shaped clamps. Different part numbers are used to determine the punch and clamp sets supplied with each tool. All sizes are available from 3/16" (4.75mm) to 1/2" (12mm) including 3.5mm, 4.5mm and 6.35mm Citroen and Rolls-Royce.

Automatic and Semi-Automatic Flaring Tools

The Automatic Flaring tool is the fastest in our range. This tool will perform best if bolted down to a bench using the bolts supplied. The tool features a unique method for automatically lining up, clamping and releasing the flared pipe. Capable of producing pipes in less than 15 seconds, this tool will appeal to the serious pipe manufacturer. In addition to the standard SAE and DIN flares, the automatic can also be used to produce Citroen pipes when used with the adaptor kit.

The Semi-Automatic Flaring tool is similar to the Universal, with many of the same features, but faster since it is lever operated. Ideally this tool should be bench mounted but can also be used in a vice. All universal clamps are used in this tool.
