Pipe Beading Tool
I am looking at buying one and the cheapest I have found is £245.
I have bought pipes ready made from merlinmotorsport, but at nearly £10 a metre, I was thinking of investing in one as I think I will be building
more cars in the future. 
The tool does from 12mm to 100mm Aluminium.
So that I can recoupe my money, are any of you interested in paying to having your beads done?
I am not aiming at a full service just a few being done here and there for a few beer tokens.
You would have to supply the pipes already cut to size etc and drop them off/pick them up.

Woh!
Not trying to dampen the BQ but if you do a quick search on here this has come up before and there are a variety of cunning, ingenious and LOCOST
solutions to this with home made kit-

Thanks for the link, but long term I think a purpose made tool is the way to go.

Similar to the ones I was looking at it in the States but with a wider size range! And cheaper! My plan was to take it with me on events and get
people to bring their bits to me to bead for a couple of quid, just to cover the cost of the tool.
I can't wait to see the £12.99 option!!!

Saved you a whole wedge
£245 less £13 equals £232.

Darn, can't find anything in the states like that. Here is a commercial twist on the modified quick disconnect.
