ABSTRACT:
A tool for reforming a male, externally threaded, gardenhose fitting is disclosed. The plier-like tool includes pivoted lever arms which carry transversely extending swaging lobes that can be inserted inside a deformed hose fitting. The lobes are notched to receive an inwardly extending annular end flange commonly present on such fittings, and expansion of the lobes and relative rotation of the fitting and the lobes swages and reforms, not only the length of the fitting, but the end flange. The tool also includes recesses that can be used to initially open the fitting and to finish-up the reforming process.
