RIDGID 41162 377 Precision Non-Ratcheting Pipe Flaring Tool, Flaring Tool for 37-degree SAE Flares

Our Experience

My friend, who's a bit of a gearhead, swore by this RIDGID 41162 so when my '98 Honda started leaking from a cracked pipe, I figured it was worth a shot. After two weeks of tinkering under the hood, I've got to say, it's a solid tool.

The precision was impressive - even as a first-timer, the 37-degree SAE flares came out looking near-professional. It made the job less daunting, and I actually felt like I knew what I was doing.



However, the instruction manual could've been clearer for a newbie like me. There were moments of head-scratching before I figured out how to properly secure the pipe and turn the tool. But once you're past that initial learning curve, it's smooth sailing. All in all, it's a great buy for anyone looking to tackle automotive repairs at home.
