Half Circular Copper Band Tool

I was looking for a tool to enlarge copper rings from standard copper tubing and decided to give this tool a try. Sent quickly to my inbox. It could have been packaged more carefully as the strong red box the tool came in was slightly bent and torn. I've seen some of these tools come in a nice wooden box, but with this one you only get a cardboard box. The box came with a warning stating that an ingredient in the contents caused cancer in laboratory rats. The tool is all metal except for the paint so I figured the warning was about the color on the tool which to me was blue instead of the gold color shown in the picture. The tool came with a flat die so I was able to stretch from the copper strip in no time. It came with several other stamps. When I tried to install the semicircular die, the pin didn't fully enter the die. I had to use a drill to remove enough material to reinstall the pin. I tried inserting the pin into some other dies and had the same problem but I had to solve it by drilling a hole. In general, this is a good tool for the money. One star deducted for packaging and quality control of the stamps. I'm looking forward to making semicircular copper strips with it.
