Click thumbnail for hi-resolution image. Warren, MI: Certain tools are "must-have" items for everyone from shade tree mechanics to professional engine builders and fabricators. A perfect example is the Tubing and Pipe Notching Tool from ProformŽ; it's great for fish-mouthing hard coolant lines, exhaust system tubing, roll cages, anywhere you need to prepare tubing or pipe junctions prior to welding. The Tubing and Pipe Notching Tool is constructed of heavy-duty steel and high-grade aluminum for rigidity and light weight. The vise portion handles 1/2-inch to 2-inch diameter tubing and is clearly marked in one degree increments, which makes it a snap to create accurate, ready-to-weld junctions. The beefy 3/4-inch diameter shaft practically eliminates hole saw deflection, ensuring each cut is as clean as possible. (1/2-inch electric drill and hole saws are not included, but are available at most hardware stores.) Don't waste valuable time on your next fabrication project using a grinder or other labor-intensive trial-and-error method to fishmouth tubing and pipe; order the economically-priced Tubing and Pipe Notching Tool from Proform and get the job done quickly and accurately.
