Showerthought: I bought a $400 'universal' tube expander that couldn't handle a simple 2-inch job.
The sales guy swore it was perfect for any boiler tube work, but the mandrel snapped clean through on the third pull. I had to rent the right tool anyway and lost a full day's pay on that site. Anyone else get burned by a tool that promised too much?

Sounds like a bad day, not a bad tool.

Oh man, that's the worst. I've seen those "universal" tools before. They're never universal. It's always some cheap cast part that can't handle real torque. You get what you pay for, but sometimes you pay a lot and still get junk. A snapped mandrel on the third pull is just embarrassing for the company that made it.
