Tool cost + $20 at a muffler shop got me this. Just figured i would share. It's an exhaust clamp piece and a washer. it works GREAT, just watch the adj screw doesn't turn. you can change the height of the bead with the screw. . holds 22psi all day!

Great job, I was gonna make something similar with an old can opener (roller inside, twist the handle to make the bead), ya' beat me to it!

That's really cool, do you think by changing the size of exhaust clamp you could do coolant hoses? I need to make some hard line for my swap.

you mean hard coolant hoses? prolly, if it's not toooo thick. yeah id use a smaller dia. it mainly does the crimp with the Washer, the clamp just holds it in place.
