Info: Bead Roller DIY

[Muff]

Needed to roll a bead on a new/hacked up boost tube for a pulling truck in a pinch. Youtube taught me what the attached photo shows.

....and you used what kind of pliers? or is that a crimp connector tool?

...link to said youtube video?

 

[Muff]

Right. Cut the end of a good pair of crimp connector pliers. File the crimp area out a little to make the transition smoother and wabaam, your now in the bead rolling business.
