HVAC Hydraulic SWAGING tool kit for copper tubing Expanding 3/8 inch to 1-1/8 inch

I bought this set in 2020 it still works in 2026. Definitely recommend this swager over brand names. I have abused this this thing and now have had it so long its sentimental. Clearly a winner unless they changed the design completely since 2020.

Does exactly what it says. I use this for band instrument repair. The "correct" method requires a $500 tool. If you're careful it works great. I don't know how well it would hold up for heavier long term work but seems incredibly well made for the price. Very pleased. Fast shipping great vendor.

Actually a great tool it has last me long. And we have knocked out a lot of hvac jobs 🔥

This is one of the best tools I’ve accumulated saves a lot of time and a whole lot of fittings

Great product for the price and durability for the product. Now that I know I would get the hand gripper instead of straight. Makes a huge difference of getting into areas and on the hands.

Excelente producto justo lo.que se necesita para que el trabajo en los tubos sea mas eficiente y profesional

Been using this for about a year now doing hvac installs and it been great. Sometimes the smaller lines will split if you try and go fast with it, towards the end you have to just squeeze it in smaller amounts and slower and it’s fine. Saved me tons of money on fittings. No leaks or issues at all.

Swaged about 10 joints so far and tolerances were good. It also worked well to slightly swell an inside tube for a tighter fit on a sloppy factory swage.

Some previous reviews commented that this tool split the copper. They are correct to a point. If the copper isnt soft or hasnt been annealed before hand then yes it will split. I tested it out on a few old rolls I had in my shop. Split every time. That being said, these rolls where sitting in my garage for anywheres from 3 to 10 years. Its a known fact that soft rolls of copper will harden over time if left unused. Especially if the rolls have been left to the heat and cold of seasonal changes. I took another old tube and annealed it before swaging. Perfect job! In conclusion, don’t blame the tool for cracking a tube. Know your copper. If its been sitting around for a time or you feel that the coil is a bit stiffer than you remember then assume its hardened and anneal it before swaging. All in all a great tool to hav in your shop or truck.

Lasted about a week under heavy use not good for instsllers

Item has only lasted several uses, appears to be no warranty or way to return

Update: Well, this kit has been used for a couple of seasons and heading into its third year of use. This kit has not missed a beat! Has functioned flawlessly. As with any swagger make sure hard copper has been annealed and with soft or hard copper make sure you deburr or you will split the pipe. This isnt brand specific, just common sense. Has been working wonders for me at a fraction of the cost of the big brand named companies. Been using this mostly on 3/8", 3/4", and 7/8" and have had zero issues so far. Definitely feeling like I got my money's worth!

Honestly, I have no complaints whatsoever. This thing works beautifully, simply, and well. It's one of those things where I wouldn't have bought if not for Amazon's generous return policy because I wasn't sure how well it might've worked. But I'm glad I did, because it did everything I needed it to flawlessly.
