The CPS BlackMax BFT850 is a premium, ultra-lightweight eccentric flaring tool engineered to dramatically reduce the time and effort required to create perfect, leak-free joints in HVAC and refrigeration systems. Designed specifically for high-pressure R-410A applications, this professional-grade tool moves away from heavy, cumbersome traditional designs. It is constructed from cast and precision-machined aluminum, making it 50% lighter than standard steel flaring blocks. This massive weight reduction helps eliminate hand fatigue during long days on the jobsite, while the rugged steel select components ensure it survives the toughest working environments.
To ensure your flares are flawlessly precise every single time, the BFT850 is packed with intuitive features. It utilizes an eccentric hardened steel cone that forms perfectly smooth 45-degree flared ends on soft copper, aluminum, and brass tubing. You never have to worry about over-compressing or thinning the metal, as the built-in internal clutch automatically releases the moment the flare is complete. Complete with a built-in slide gauge for rapid tube height alignment and a rugged carrying case, the BlackMax BFT850 is the ultimate time-saving addition to any professional HVAC technician's tool bag.
