Maybe someone with the Instructions can read them and say what pressure and Air Flow is needed.
The below info is from one of the Tool Seller sites:
Rapid Flexx Boot Gun with Air Reg. Fitting ARAFB5000PK
"Index adjuster knob permits you to keep the adjuster tight and give a better indication on arms opening.
Piston aluminum type: 369A, 60% more metal had been added to increase the breaking point from 11,000 pounds to 25,000 pounds.
Plastic guide cone has been made to help the technician to guide the end of C.V. joint in the middle of the piston hole.
Plastic cone installed inside the piston prevents the technician from having his hand inside the piston.
Safety pressure valve has been installed to prevent excessive air pressure behind the piston, valve set at 125psi +/- 5psi.
A block of aluminum is inside the handle to prevent porosity and increase performance.
Aluminum arms have been replaced by double Stamped Steel arms."
I had a similar issue with the Dorman Tool.
On some Boots it would not expand enough and others expanded more but I could the Boot off of the Tools fingers.
when I used the Cone all by itself and recoated the Cone with STP between each re-boot attempt it worked every time.
