4 pc pipe tubing tube swag swaging expander tool set
4 piece swaging tools are used as an economical method for joining copper tubing by eliminating the need for a coupling. Once the swage has been made, the tubes can be easily sweated together with solder. 4-Piece Swaging Set gives you four of the most popular sizes, ranging from 1/4 to 5/8 . The hex-shaped body prevents the tool from rolling and limits the potential for binding in the tube. Made from heat-treated alloy steel for maximum durability. Part #RM154ST
