The smaller sizes work much more reliably than the large sizes. Personally, I only use the swage and do not trust the flares. The swage is much more forgiving, but the flare is very easy to start at a slight angle or off-center which can cause a poor outcome. Yes, they are easy to use, but at the same time, it is somewhat difficult to get quality flares and swages from these tools. These requirements are typically 18v and 1800 rpm minimum for cordless drills, and 500w and 1800 rpm for corded drills.Įase of use - this one could be either a pro or a con depending on how you look at it. When you dig a little deeper into that asterisk, you will find that you can use it with any drill that meets the minimum requirements. If you look at any of the manufactures of these tools their sale brochure will point out you can “use with any drill*”. Of course, there are also traditional options such as eccentric flaring blocks and swage kits which are comparable in price to the spin tools, but they do take much longer to set up.
