Re: Home Made Tools

Plier bead crimping tool for small diameter tube. Making 5/8 and 3/4 heater core lines for another engine swap.





Works pretty nice, it leaves a nice smooth bead. Make one light pass, then full crimp the 2nd pass. If they started out as pliers vs crimper/cutters, I imagine it wouldn't make the marks on the tube..
