🔧 Lisle 32000 Pipe End Shaping Tool Review

This is a quality product. I've been using them in the exhaust business for 25 years. I have never been disappointed with the Lisle brand!

A great tool for carrying mufflers or pipes that have fallen and bent with you. This tool is very durable and is great for reinforcing those pipes and mufflers.

A bit pricey for what it is but got the job done. It's a lot harder than I thought. The paint will chip and fly all over the place if you hit it with a hammer, so safety goggles are a must.

The best way to do this is to use this tool to cut slits in the pipe you want to flare, then drive the end with a large hammer to open the pipe. If you don't cut the grooves it still works but not as well and you need a really big hammer.

This tool does exactly what it's supposed to do, which is to shape the edge of thin-walled tubing. It's pretty heavy and durable. Nothing fancy, just a conical piece of steel with a thick bar inside that's hit with a hammer. I used a small sledgehammer and hit it hard enough to bend the metal of the pipe. Works perfectly.
