Malco Tools Introduces New MalcoEdge™ Line of HVACR Refrigeration Tools

Purpose-built to support every phase of refrigeration service

ANNANDALE, Minn., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Malco Tools, one of the nation's leading solution developers and manufacturers of high-quality tools for the HVACR and building construction trades, is proud to announce the launch of MalcoEdge™, a new line of tools and equipment engineered specifically for refrigeration and air conditioning professionals.

MalcoEdge is a comprehensive, HVACR-focused solution set that gives technicians the accuracy, consistency and confidence needed to deliver high-quality system performance every time.

Built to serve the realities of refrigeration fieldwork, the MalcoEdge lineup delivers performance-driven solutions that support critical phases of the job from start to finish — installation, service, maintenance, repair and retrofit — with tools and accessories for system evacuation, copper preparation, tubing manipulation, system measurement and more.

The full MalcoEdge™ lineup includes:

• MalcoEdge tube cutters and preparation tools, including patented spring-loaded cutters, deburring tools and reaming equipment, are designed for accurate, repeatable copper preparation. Whether removing imperfections from cut ends or creating smooth, uniform edges for flaring and swaging, these tools help technicians maintain proper refrigerant flow and joint integrity.
• MalcoEdge flaring and swaging tools are engineered for airtight, leak-resistant copper connections. Built for precision and repeatability, these tools support the growing industry shift toward flared and swaged joints in inverter technology, mini-splits, heat pumps and high-efficiency systems. Their dependable performance helps reduce callbacks and ensure long-term system stability.
• MalcoEdge Safe Seal and Easy Seal hoses are critical components of the MalcoEdge platform, delivering secure, leak-resistant connections that protect the integrity of every HVACR evacuation and charging process. Developed for dependable sealing performance, these hoses minimize system losses and help technicians maintain vacuum stability and refrigerant control—supporting long-term system health and efficiency. Together, they provide technicians a reliable, worry-free path to cleaner, more consistent system performance.
• MalcoEdge vacuum pumps offer reliable evacuation performance that meets the demands of modern HVACR systems. Engineered for consistent precision, these pumps help technicians achieve deep, stable vacuums essential for moisture removal and long-term system reliability. Durable construction and field-ready portability ensure dependable operation across residential, commercial and light industrial environments.
• MalcoEdge recovery units built for speed, safety and field reliability to help technicians stay compliant without sacrificing performance. Whether handling traditional refrigerants or newer low-GWP options, these units deliver dependable recovery under demanding conditions.
• MalcoEdge manifolds that provide dependable performance for everything from quick service calls to complex system work. Professional-grade construction is designed for daily field abuse: quick quarter turn valves for smooth operation and long service life, large gauges offering increased viewing clarity and magnetic hanging straps and hooks for hands-free use.
• MalcoEdge measuring equipment with digital displays, responsive measurement and technician-focused features that ensure reliable results during installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting, including a gas leak detector, digital alarm thermometer and digital vacuum gauge.

Every MalcoEdge product is backed by Malco's engineering expertise and commitment to supporting HVACR professionals with reliable, purpose-built solutions.
