Tradie Pro Tip

"Always ensure your tubing cutter produces a clean, burr-free cut before swaging. A smooth, even cut is crucial for achieving a perfect, concentric swage that will braze or solder without issues. For optimal tool life and ease of use, apply a small drop of refrigerant oil to the swage adapter cone before each operation!"
