i have a very simular tool from sealey tools that i find ideal as a home/diy tool
crimp is just as good as a £200+ tool i have used in garages i have worked at just takes a little more time to use.
its been coverd meny times but poke out length needs to be spot on with a flat deburred end on a stright bit of pipe.
i find it easyer to get the length right first then swage ends and then form the pipe after or the last 6" at least
i fit soft jaws in my vice then turn the pipe and lightly squeaze the pipe to get it stright
