Hydraulic pipe flaring tool

Most decent tools like Sykes have metric and imperial formers.  Suggest do a test form on a bit of spare pipe if you havn't already done so to get to this point and compare with an original.   

Me personally, would not take a chance knowingly mixing metric and imperial.

Thanks. This kit is sized as metric (aside from a 1/4 one?) For the clamp holes and dies.

As well as the 5mm size, there is a 4.75mm size, which I didn't notice at first. I assume this will be the size to match 3/16" pipe?.

Though I assume this may be a grey area "wouldn't like to comment" regarding the slightly different met/imp profiles?

If so I can return it and purchase an imperial sized tool.

Cheers for your imput, much appriciated.

Dave
