I use the Ferrees tool for almost all my swedging, but I've become very skillful with it over the years. I once heard another repair tech disparage the tool. I guess he became skillful with pliers.
One problem you might encounter is that after swedging the rod doesn't go in smoothly and binds. his can be because you went too far, but frequently it is because the tube and/ or rod isn't perfectly straight. Then you may have to straighten the hinge tube or the rod, or both. Or enlarge the tube. You may discover that other tools need to be made or purchased along with the swedging tool to complete the job.
As usual, a job that seems simple at first can get more complicated as you go along.
