Any of you fine fellers got a tube beader , something like a parker or an earl's ez-beader for 3/8" tube they don't need any more and would sell cheap?? The earls unit is the 008ERL.
How 'bout it Gunner? anything floating around??
If not, they're only $28.16USD at Amazon.
Or, if you're as tighta...er, frugal as I am, I'd see if I could borrow one from a plumber for a six-pack of his favorite beverage or something. I hate to have to buy a tool for a one-off situation, but if it's for a recurring situation, I'm somewhat more happy to make the investment. HF provides one-off tools at a price I can live with. And I'm still hammering and prying on that old vise I bought in '76, during my first visit to my first HF store. Four decades next year! the vise jaws open wide enough to act as a press for installing u-joints, and I've done a few on that beastie.
