🔧 GEARWRENCH Exhaust and Tailpipe Expander 1-13/16" to 2-1/2" - 2071D: Efficient & Versatile Tool for Exhaust System Adjustments Review

The first time I used this the nut broke. I replaced it with a class 8 nut, walk slowly and don't use the punch. It will not function as a large hydraulic power pack.

Well made and stretchy. After reading the reviews and receiving the product, the first thing I did was go to a hardware store and replace the nut with a class 8.

I think it would be better in a more experienced arena, although I used 1/2 hit on it and it held up, I've always trusted g-wrench and I will recommend this tool.

There was a shave on the third finger, which she was sticking out of and probably also preparing to crack. Is that thing made of cast iron? She comes back for a refund. Oh, and I used a hand wrench, not an impact wrench.

I needed to flare the end of a pipe and this tool was the only way to do it other than a $2000+ machine. A great way to make extended pieces of pipe so you can slide it over another piece to make a connection. I have the more common type of extension tool and the KD product works much better. You'll need a sledgehammer and some elbow grease, but this tool will get the job done very well. It also helps to have a vise designed to help the pipe. This works best if you work slowly with a good…

I was looking for the tool shown in the photo and was very disappointed when I opened the box and saw this KD Tools 2071. I need the tool shown in the photo to fix the torch that the pipe is attached to. diverse. I don't see this job as capable. This tool is the same expander you see used everywhere to make slip-fit connections, and the instructions say you have to twist a cone to expand it. The bars that come into contact with the tube are straight and flat, different from what is shown in the
