Ferree's does sell swedging pliers. They can be a pain to use because of
their small size, and the amount of pressure sometimes needed. Sore hands can
be a result.

I recently saw some better swedging pliers built by A. Mirando in Savannah,
GA. His contact information is:

Good luck,

Hi all,

I was at the store where Mr Mirando works and I know him for couple of years
now he works with my good friend Sheldon Kanis ( who is one of the finest
repair person i've met so far). I make my own tools for years and it was the
first time I saw a tool as critical as the swigging pliers are that I could
use immediatly and with no problems. He makes different sizes too you should
check. The Feree's one are two heavy for me and hurts my arm after a while.
But it is just my opinion and I am sure the Feree's one will work fine for a
lot of person. Try out and good luck.

Musically Yours
