CwazyWabbit Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) BTW that's 1/4" outside diameter! It's a number 4 tool in case you are curious. Edited January 7, 2023 by CwazyWabbit To add the milspec pages 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It's a variation on the WW2 Parker type beading tool, there are current copies by ATS and Graham Tool. The current versions are four tools (a clamping tool and 3 bead tools), yours handles the different bead profiles by the changeable outer dies, all use the interchangeable inner dies. The new versions are around $500-$600. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
