Abstract
An adjustable insertion-depth tube flaring tool is provided. A selector housing is disposed on a yoke. An adjustment nut is disposed within the selector housing. An adjustment screw is disposed within at least one of the selector housing and the yoke. A clutch housing has therein at least one biasing element, at least one lower clutch plate, and at least one upper clutch plate. An upper clutch plate rotation supporting element interacts with a lower clutch plate rotation supporting element to facilitate rotation of the upper clutch plate over the lower clutch plate in one direction. At least a portion of a shaft proximal end and an upper clutch plate inner wall are shaped to interact with one another in such a manner that the upper clutch plate is selectively prevented from rotating about the shaft proximal end when the upper clutch plate is disposed on the shaft proximal end.
