Applications, specifications and model comparison
TFL800 — Flaring Kit (Blue-Point®). Form, flare or swage compatible tubing within the tool’s specified size range.
Applications and industries
Automotive, fabrication and mechanical-maintenance workshops are potential users where the tube specification matches.
- Identify the tube diameter, wall, material and required end form.
- Then compare the dies, adaptors and operating arrangement with the service procedure.
These industry examples are selection guidance, not additional manufacturer approvals.
Features of TFL800
- Makes double flares on 3/16" and 4.75 mm tubing
- Used with a ratchet to make consistent flares faster and easier
- Low-profile design allows for use on or off the car
- Inline design makes a more accurate flare
- Double clamp and hex screw design keeps tubing locked tightly in position
- For use on thin-walled steel and copper tubing
Specifications and fit checks
Bending, flaring and swaging are different operations. A nominal diameter match alone does not establish material or pressurized-system suitability.

TFL800 selection checklist
For TFL800, verify the required task, working range, interface dimensions and package contents against the official catalogue details. This final check helps prevent ordering a visually similar model with a different fit or capability.
Choosing TFL800 for the task
Choose a tubing bender around the tube outside diameter, material and the bend required by the job. A nominal size match does not describe every condition that affects selection. Compare the listed material support and bend geometry for the exact tool. Also, the working space and the length of tube available to position in the tool can influence the practical arrangement.
A compact multi-size bender and another bending format may offer different access or bend limits. Review the manufacturer’s actual specifications rather than assuming either is a direct substitute. For a service or fabrication task, record the tube specification and the required finished shape in the inquiry. Do not extend a catalogue material claim to every alloy, wall thickness or pressure application. Follow the component and tool instructions for the bending process. This page provides buying context, not a design approval for a finished tube assembly.
Planning the workshop application
Define the intended job in practical terms before comparing options. Record the equipment or component involved, the operation to perform and the access available around it. Include the current tool or accessory if this purchase replaces an existing item. That context helps distinguish a size change from a different product function. It also makes the application and industry examples above easier to assess against the actual work.
Understanding the catalogue record
The official listing identifies this model as Flaring Kit (Blue-Point®). Its catalogue grouping is Tubing: Flaring/Cutters/Bending / Flaring Tool Sets (Blue-Point®). Use that description to identify the product format, then read the individual specifications for the details that matter to the job. A category describes where the product sits in the range; it is not an additional compatibility approval.
The current record does not provide a complete dimensional specification table for this item. The model description and any listed features remain useful references, but they do not justify filling in missing dimensions, capacities or approvals. If fit depends on a measurement or a particular parent tool, identify that requirement in the inquiry and obtain confirmation before choosing the item.
The catalogue country-of-origin field is CHN. This field concerns the listed product origin; it does not identify local inventory, delivery time or the warranty terms of a Vietnam quotation. Confirm those commercial details separately.
Comparing options before ordering
The comparison above names TFL20MK and TFLM800. Review the displayed differences against the requirement for this job. Begin with function and compatibility, then compare access, configuration and included components. If the names differ by size, drive, colour or kit format, identify which difference matters before making a choice. Similar models are not automatic replacements, and a larger or more expensive option is not necessarily the better match.
Purchase questions and receiving checks
What should the order include?
Ask for a line-item description of the supplied configuration. For a set or kit, confirm the contents; for a component, confirm the quantity and the matching parent model where relevant. If photographs show a larger assembly or several items, do not assume all of them form part of this SKU. Keep any essential accessories and documents explicit in the quotation so that receiving checks can follow the same requirements.
Receiving, care and record keeping
On receipt, compare the item and its packaging with the ordered model, quantity and configuration. Check the supplied components and any requested documentation. Keep the product identification visible in the workshop’s inventory record. If the delivered item differs from the confirmed order, resolve that difference before assigning it to the planned job. This is especially useful when a range contains visually similar sizes or accessories for different parent tools.
For continued use, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for inspection, cleaning, storage and maintenance. Do not assume that a cleaning chemical, lubricant or maintenance method used on another tool is suitable here. Keep damaged or uncertain equipment out of the planned task until its condition is assessed. Record any replacement parts by model so future orders use the confirmed reference rather than a visual guess.
Ordering in Vietnam
Send Techmaster Vietnam the model number TFL800 and details of the task or existing equipment. Include any required sizes, connections and accessories.
Before ordering, confirm the quotation, lead time, package contents and applicable warranty terms. The official catalogue is the technical reference; it does not establish local stock or a Vietnam selling price.
