Intercooler Bead Forming

I just ordered a bead forming tool so if anyone needs some beads rolled just let me know. I didnt know of anyone else local with one so I just bought it and figured it could benefit a few people.
I'm either considering renting the tool out or just charging per bead, not sure yet. So if anyone needs a few beads rolled, just let me know via PM.

Be careful with loaning the tool out. I'd say just charge a few bucks to do 'em.

Well loan outs would most likely be to people who I have known for a while and that I would trust. Ex: you or ricky.

The bead is the rib at the end of the intercooler piping. You put the clamp on the pipe side of the bead (over the coupler). It aids in keeping the pipes clamped together.
