Overview
| The Parker Beading Tool has been the number one choice of aircraft mechanics for making clamping beads in metal tubes. To this day, no other tool even comes close to matching its quality. So by special arrangement, the manufacturer tooled up to recreate this classic tool in every detail. In the process they have added a few enhancements of their own, such as ground, hardened, and polished surfaces for mar-free beads in aluminum, copper, brass, and mild steel tubes ranging from 1/4" to 1" diameter. Meets MILSPEC MS33660D and SAE AS5131 standards. |
