    Swedge options

    To use the hand one you need to heat and soften the tube.

    This nifty REMS electric one will swedge with just a squeeze of the trigger without softening, although the tube gets smokin hot while it expands:) (wish it were cordless) It also doubles as a tee puller.

    Is This

    the same as swaging soft copper?

    I'm just curious, is it called swedging because the tube does not have to be softend?
