CPS BlackMax® BFT850 Series Tube Flaring Tools

The CPS BlackMax® BFT850 series Tube Flaring Tools are engineered for HVAC/R technicians who demand precision, durability and consistent performance on every connection. Available in both metric and imperial models, the BFT850 range offers hand-operated, ratchet-operated and drill-powered options to suit different working styles and jobsite requirements.

Designed to produce smooth, accurate 45° flares on soft copper and aluminum tubing, the BFT850 features an eccentric cone for uniform flare formation and a built-in clutch to prevent over-compression and protect the tube. The integrated slide gauge ensures correct tube positioning for repeatable, professional results, while seven quick-change positions allow fast adaptation across common tube sizes.

Manufactured from cast and precision-machined aluminum with select rugged steel components, the BFT850 is up to 50% lighter than comparable steel designs to reduce fatigue without compromising strength. Its compact, patented design makes it ideal for tight working environments where control and reliability are essential.

Whether hand, ratchet or drill powered, the BlackMax® BFT850 delivers controlled, high-quality flares that help reduce leaks, rework and costly call-backs.
