pipe expanders
I was welding my first exhaust together and was having a hard time getting the pipes to match up perfect so a pipe expander would be a big help. My question is, do the hand tool pipe expanders actually work? Up to what gauge are they effective? I finished my exhaust but need to do the over the rear beam section. Any help or tips is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: pipe expanders
I have a friend with a shop that takes care of mine with a hydraulic unit but I have used the manual expanders with good results also.
I'm thinking of picking one up also since harbor freight has them for so cheap.

I've broken one out of two. Another friends has broken one also. Typical of harbor freight.
They do work & are useful to have. The trick is heating the pipe before using it, which nearly noone does - hence, most people have problems.

yo jeeve, you're going to have to let me use it if it works
sears hardware has a pipe expander too if i remember correctly but it is probably much more expensive
edit: actually same price
