Taking place high above the city in the Reunion Tower, the launch party was notable not only for its breathtaking views of seemingly the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, but also for the new tools that the company expects will make a big splash in the market.

hilmor introduced the quick-engage flare and swage, a compact bender, a dual readout thermometer, a compact swage tool, an electronic gauge with vacuum sensor, and a four-valve aluminum manifold set.

There seemed to be a lot of excitement in the air as many people went station to station, examining and trying out the new tools.

hilmor officially launches the set Monday at the AHR Expo at the Dallas Convention Center.
