NAVAC NTE7 Tube Expander, Foldable Swaging Tool, 3/8" to 7/8" OD

Un dépanneur seulement, le vrai est mieux

Great tool! Does the job with no fuss. Replaced a compressor a few weeks ago that was a recip to scroll conversion that didn’t come with a repipe kit. Using this tool and no other fittings or pipe other than what was already in the unit, was able to do a very professional job of repiping that looked better than any kit job.

Not bad for the price point. Takes a few minutes to get it to where you’d want it, and you need to be careful to not over do it, because it is easy to crack the copper with this tool. I wouldn’t recommend it as a primary expander, but it is good as a backup or for tight spots. If you’re looking for an expander you know you’re going to use a lot, just spend the money on a Navac or Hilmor expanding gun.

Does the job right

Works well you just have to turn the tool as you are expanding folding handle is nice way better than pounding it in with a hammer and honestly I think better than the cheap hydraulic ones never had enough money to buy the good hydraulic one though
