Pipe flaring & cutting
|
A pipe flaring tool has two parts, a set of bars with holes that match the diameter of the pipe end to be shaped, and a yoke that drives a cone into the mouth of the tube.
|
Marking tools
|
Making sharp, clean lines on metal requires a sharp, clean point.
|
| Gauges |
Tools that measure the difference between any two points can be divided up according to how accurately they do it.
|
Taps & dies
|
Threads are cut on screws, bolts, nuts, studs and inside holes to allow components to be attached and assembled.
|
Fasteners
|
Larger bolts and nuts must sometimes be tightened to a specified level - tight enough to hold components together but not so tight that the component or the fastener could fail.
|
| Pullers |
The most common pullers have 2 or 3 legs which grip the part to be removed. A pulling action then extracts the part. |
