PFT409
Pistol Grip Tool Produces Professional Grade Flares in Seconds – On or Off the Vehicle
S.U.R.&R. will unveil a new compact pistol
grip flaring tool that sets the benchmark for single-person line flaring –
regardless of whether the repair is on or off the vehicle – for brake and other
automotive fluid line applications. The PFT409 will be demonstrated at the S.U.R.&R.
booth at the AAPEX show (Booth 953 in the Tools and Equipment Section) at the
Sands Expo in Las Vegas October 31-November 2, 2017.
“The PFT409 is engineered so that one person can
consistently create professional-grade flares, even while working in tight
spaces on the vehicle. It’s easy on the hand and easy on the tech,” said Bob
Joy, S.U.R.&R. National Sales Manager. “This eliminates problems with traditional
flaring tools that, oftentimes, require two people to operate, are too bulky
for tight spaces and produce inconsistent flares which adds labor and time to
the job.”
Innovative
Design for Creating Quality Flares
The PFT409 features a compact two-piece design. There is a heavy-duty
hydraulic pistol grip handle that delivers 6,000 PSI of powerful crimping
pressure and requires little effort to squeeze. A magnetic yoke holds the dies securely
in place helping the installer avoid dropping the dies or misaligning the
tubing during set-up. The yoke is attached to a secure-grip handle. The two
pieces swivel together providing optimum control and positioning for on-vehicle
flaring. For flaring off the vehicle, just remove the yoke handle and use the
tool in a vice.
Watch this short video to see the PFT409 in action:
The PFT409 comes with all the
punches and dies needed to create the most widely used SAE and DIN flares on
S.U.R.&R. UltraBEND® (bendable, non-corrosive), steel or coated brake tubing.
The tool will also create inverted flares for fuel, power steering and
transmission lines.
Punches
·Sizes include 3/16”/4.75 mm, 1/4”/6 mm, 5/16”/8
mm, 3/8”/10 mm (single/double only)
·A detent ball on the hydraulic handle allows the
punches to be changed quickly
Dies
·Sizes include 3/16”/4.75 mm, 1/4”/6 mm, 5/16”/8
mm, 3/8”/10 mm
·Die channels (3/16”/4.75 mm, 1/4”/6 mm sizes)
are smooth to avoid tubing scarring
Grooved channels (5/16”/8 mm, 3/8”/10 mm sizes) are included for extra gripping
·Pins ensure accurate alignment of dies
·Magnetic yoke hold dies securely in place
Applications
·Brake flares: SAE Single (45°
Bubble), SAE Double (45° Inverted), DIN Single (Mushroom)
·Additional inverted flares for fuel, power
steering and transmission lines
“We believe service technicians will find that the
PFT409 sets the benchmark for single-person, professional flaring both on and off
the car,” Joy said. “It eliminates the common struggles of tool set-up, alignment
and positioning experienced by techs every day so they can very quickly create
high quality flares with confidence.”
