Need help....

[Brett James-McCall]

.....finding a tool that can do pipe beading. I can bend it, cut it, weld it.... but can't find anything for beading for hose attachments. Can anyone help?

Search on ebay under "tubing bender". That's where I purchased the benders for my bundy lines, and there are also large hydraulically operated benders for larger tubing.

I know of two manufacturers of beading tools in the US.

The other is Earl's Performance Products which I just now realized has a UK site. Their beading tool is designed for aluminum tubing.

Brett,

I did have one that you could have borrowed but I lent to someone but never got it back!
You can get various sizes from 3/8"-2" from Earls at Silverstone tel: 01803 869850. If you ask nicely they will give you 30% discount.

Regards, Paul.
