Default DIY intercooler pipe beading

If you have used universal intercooler piping, you know you have to cut the pipes to length, and you end up losing one or both of the beaded ends. I saw this on another forum, but it is such an awesome idea I thought it was worth sharing:

This certainly beats the way I manually flared mine with a pair of channel-locks. It worked, but was WAY more labor intensive and the end result was not nearly as clean as the above method.

They had legit bead rollers on ebay a while back when I was looking for just under $100 in case anybody is lazy or doesn't weld.
