Great tools! |

I've installed 4 1/2" couplings, 4 1/2" pull-through bulkheads, and 3 1-1/2" TC ferrules, all quite successfully, using these tools. They work great!
Then I tried replacing the weldless fittings (13/16" holes) in a keggle. IMPORTANT - the directions say 13/16" to 7/8" for the pull-throughs BUT use the larger 7/8" hole for thicker pots. PAY ATTENTION TO THAT INSTRUCTION!
I tried to force installing the pull-through. Short version of the story, I bent the grade 5 bolt and partially stripped the bolt's threads. I had to hacksaw the bolt head off to remove the tool - I couldn't get the nut off.
Lesson learned - for the keggle, use a 7/8" hole - AND - maybe upgrade your nut and bolt to grade 8. And use some big wrenches (which is what got me in trouble and bent the bolt).
Great tools - other than the bent/stripped bolt (my own fault), the rest of the tool is undamaged and ready to rock and roll.
