earls 'ez-beader'
Has anyone used these?

I'm looking to fabricate some hard lines for my coolant reroute and this seemed like a rather cheap alternative, however, traditional beaders have a male/female set up - with this just having a male it seems like it would do a rather shitty job unless your using a very thin wall.
They also have a 2" version for those running itty-bitty intercooler piping (says the guy running 2.25").

I made the vicegrip one and on the 2mm cxracing aluminum intercooler piping I couldn't make anything more than a scratch...maybe if I had used a smaller washer (I used something like a 2" washer). I even put the vicegrips in a vice and still couldn't make a bead. On the really cheep ebay piping though it worked well. I ended up beating a lip onto all of my pipes...
