Re: Restoring Rusty
If you bead the end of the tube you don't need to double clamp it.
The ATS Parker Beading Tools are darn nice but the price is pretty dear. Here they are FWIW I have seen similar bead forming tools made from modified pipe cutters. Depends on your tooling availability and skill set. The Earls tube beading tools work fine for a few tubes.
