Changed my mind about those electronic tube expanders after talking to a rep at the supply house

I always thought the manual roller expanders were fine, but a guy at Midwest Supply in Cleveland told me the hydraulic ones save about 30 minutes per header. He showed me how they make way more consistent bell mouths on the tubes too. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed a real difference in your leak rate?

Yeah that Midwest Supply guy talked me into one too. No regrets.

Aw man, isn't it funny how some sales people just have that gift of being right about stuff? Feels like everyone's got that one person who just gets what you actually need before you do.

that gift of being right about stuff" hits different when you realize it's not really a gift lol. They're just better at reading body language and micro-expressions than most of us. Kinda freaky when you think about it, like they're lowkey analyzing your every twitch while you're just tryna buy a hose.
