Nice fit (that's what she said). I bet if you paired that technique with a "inductive heating coil" that tube would really give up the goods like it was it's 3rd date. It's very COoL that is has a sweet tapered roller bearing to take the brunt of the load. Thank you for the video. GR8T shop!.

ha ha, i was curious if you will even try to stretch inox, i finished with exhaust: AISI 316 42.6mm OD, 1.6mm wall, and AISI 304 70mmOD, 1.6mm wall, and i had cheap tool that only could stretch copper seal ring that i made from copper pipe, only way that i managed to make detachable join was to use sleve/journal pipe over basic pipe and fix it with screws
I work at a muffler shop and even when it says 2.5" or whatever inside diameter the 2.5" outside diameter doesn't fit in and I have to take it to the hydrolic machine so these are pretty nice but take long and if you over do it you can always expand the other piece as long as it doesn't crack.
I am looking at getting the hydraulic punch kit harbor freight sells which will allow me to convert this to hydraulic, we'll see how it works. For as often as I use this it works just fine... Way nicer then the old-school expander...
So my thought about adding heat would be that it would probably compromise the rubber bands of the expander that hold the dies... Good question though 👍👍 I did think about this question when working on this...
@@ChallengeTheBuild copper rtv & a GOOD clamp seems to be the best way to seal exhaust without a weld I used 2 pry bars with the 2 slits and dented a pipe. Now I got to take the pipe off and widen it so it can rotate when slid all the way onto the header 👎
I’ve considered buying a kit like this several times. Just haven’t pulled the trigger because the cheap parts store one I tried was not good. Thanks for review!
Definitely not like the traditional style pipe expanders. Last time I went to the parts store to rent an expander they wanted $85 I think, and even though you get that money back I thought it was a ridiculous amount to rent a tool so I bought this instead! Definitely a tool you will use and say "I wish I bought it sooner! " Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
Excellent video buddy. But don't use a gun or a bar. Get a 10t hydraulic pull / hole puncher. The bolt on the puller is the same as the threads on the expander. Use both together and you have a hydraulic pipe expander. The expander I got on offer at £50 and the hydraulic hole punch I got for £58 .. £108 for effortless colettes. No power or batteries required.
So this is the second comment on this exact thing. Guess I will be doing this very soon! 👍👍 I appreciate the advice... Thanks for watching and commenting 🤘💯
Should also use safety glasses. Those hardened ends could shatter. I had a piece of hardened material shatter and get stuck in my cheek. Thanked god it didn’t hit my eye and been wearing safety glasses every time since.
That would have definitely helped... Part of the reason why I didn't was, I wanted to see what it would do or what it would take to stretch the stainless with out heating, cutting or any other aid. 🤷♂️. Needless to say any other time I will cut a slit.👍👍
Put a slit in the end of the tube and then expand it?....Unless if you're only expanding it a small fraction of an inch it'll split at the slit, it's the weakest point.

Amazing instructions thanks man you went over every detail immaculately

Thanks for watching and commenting... I really appreciate it... I will give a ring before swinging by!😎👍
Really great close up shots. Thank you.
Glad it helped 👍
nice job, when you said you were going to expand the stainless steel I was doubtful that stuff is tough as hell.
I eventually got it to expand BUT it took a lot to get it to go...There is another video showing the ordeal...😂👍 Thanks for watching and commenting...
Look forward to part 2

good tool
Agreed...
How about taking a torch to the pipe and heat it up to make it more malleable and try to expand the pipe at the same time , what you think ?
So my thought about adding heat would be that it would probably compromise the rubber bands of the expander that hold the dies... Good question though 👍👍 I did think about this question when working on this...
I was sleeping on it and then thought about the o-rings on the colletts might melt if hot 🔥
You could probably cut 2 slits in the pipe and get it to move easier
@guitarguy3221 This is a good idea..👍

Appreciate the support my dude! Its a great kit! Very useful piece of tooling! Hope you are well!👍

Wow... Thanks for the link... Awesome! #ChallengeTheBuild
@@ChallengeTheBuild work smarter, not harder 💪
Could you maybe share the links of the hydraulic pull and of the expander that you have been able to combine and use for this task please? Thanks

Good call! Not going to argue safety.. 👍
why dont you put a slit in the end of the pipe then expand it :)
