Review on 5/8 Inch Hiwowsport Tube Pipe Tubing Beader Tool For Intake And Intercooler Piping by Jeffrey Johnston

It works decently enough for cheap, thin-walled tubing. If you''re using quality, thicker aluminum (in this case intercooler piping, 0.065" wall), don''t even bother. First the tensioner knob''s set screw stripped off the tensioner post while I was tightening the tensioner (by hand). Then, after I fixed the tensioner set screw, the shaft that the crank handle rides on sheared off. I was increasing the tension in steps, about a half turn of the tensioner at a time, and after 1/3 of the pipe had been beaded - the crank shaft sheared completely off of the tool. Absolute junk.
