The Home Depot swaging tool is only good for 3/8" to 5/8" so it is most not usable and does not also make a tube smaller.  The particlar size I need right now is 1-1/16" to fit over 1" bushing on a post/pipe mount for a vertical.  I have the 1" tube and then need to deck it down on the other end.

Thank you.

    Can someone tell me where I can find a swaging tool if such an

    exists.  By swaging tool I am talking about a tool that will make the
    inner diameter of an aluminum tube larger so the same size tube
    will fit
    into it. Also it will make the other end smaller.  What is this tool
    actually called (since Google gives me nothing like what I am looking
    for under that search term) and where can it be found?

    Thank you.
