Made myself a quick swage tool for my aluminium plumbing.

Quite pleased with the results.

Looks smart and nice and cheap

Can't get much simpler than that!

I am most impressed I think the results are better than a professional tool. I made a copy of the tool for 32mm pipe, wasted my time!

Here's mine that was made from offcuts of steel and a tent peg. Fortunately I have a lathe so it was easy to turn up the dies.

Very nice, love simple engineering !

Not to be left out here is my effort. Works great with alloy and steel but doesn't like stainless.
