The 120-degree angle head requires less power to pump and provides a natural wrist angle. Thanks to the hydraulic mechanism and the quick release thumb button, this tool can be operated single-handedly. The laser-engraved expander heads can quickly be identified and exchanged. They fit most common HVACR imperial size copper tubing.  Rough edges or burrs can easily be removed with the included heavy duty
