Tool name?

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

What's the name of the tool used for making compression rings, in copper pipes?

 

[Burnerman]

A flaring tool will make special ends on copper pipe - a swaging tool will expand the ends to receive tubing of a similar diameter.
Is this what you mean?

The tool that I would like the name of, goes inside of the copper pipe and when opened and turned 360 degrees, a ball bearing will form a compression ring in the pipe.

That's it
So a swaging tool will create a compression ring for non-manipulative joints.
A pipe expander for soldered connections.
A bullet is used for swaged compression.
So swaging tool not for swaged compression connection

A kingley swaging tool has to be used with kingley compression fittings only.

I am doing an assignment on copper pipe connections and jointing.
But for the life in me can't remember the name of this tool.
