Wrote off a $75 tube expander for years, then spent 6 hours hand rolling 9 tubes on a boiler in Gary
Figured a ratchet and elbow grease was good enough for small jobs until a 2 inch tube job last month left my wrist shot and a couple tubes seeping, so I finally bought the expander and knocked the same amount of tubes out in 40 minutes, anyone else hold out on a tool way too long?

Six hours for nine tubes sounds like you were fighting that thing more than rolling it. A ratchet and some elbow grease gets the job done on small stuff, so holding out on a $75 tool that only saves you a few hours? That math never adds up unless you're doing this every week.
