I agree. Tube flaring tool.

You guys are too good.

This old flaring tool will do all sizes from 1/8th" to 3/4" single and double, aluminum and steel.

I can zoom in on an image and I can read. I was stumped, though, until I did that.

A lot nicer flaring tool than the modern garbage that's sold.

I didn't notice that info was on the top of the tool. gave it away I guess.

That tool dates from the 40's I don't know the year of this ones manufacture, But it came out of an old Connie's flight engineer's survival kit.

I was given it while I was in NMC Pt.Mugu. (1969) it sat in my pack up kit until the 90s when I started to get back into aviation with my C-150's

IOWs it's nearly new.

Having recently picked up a set of WWII surplus Parker beading tools, I can appreciate the quality of the old stuff. I bought 'em to use, but I keep 'em out on the workbench as a conversation-starter between uses.
