Have a set but not tried them on 6061-T6 tubing. On these and bearing
pullers etc the threads and cone get a liberal coating of regular
NeverSeez before use.
OTOH, the HF reviews tell the story, I don't recall seeing any worse.

If it???s a reasonable size (around 2????? or 3??? or so) go to Harbor

Has anyone verified that this actually works?
I tried to use an HF exhaust expander on 0.050" wall
Al irrigation pipe and the screw became very hard to
turn yet nothing happened to the pipe.?? Did I do
something wrong??? Seems like it should have worked.
