Clarinet Swedging Tools

Author: Bassclarinet29

I am looking into starting some clarinet repair and overhaul as a hobby to keep myself interested and maybe make enough to offset the costs. I am starting my first overhaul with a B and H 2-20. The keys all seem to fit rather well together although a couple rods have linear play. I am looking into getting a tool for swedging—I have been noticing that they are quite expensive. I want to make sure that the tool has the proper tolerances so that I don’t damage the rod.

I have been looking at the Ferrees Swedging Tool with the collets, but as it looks I can only use that on a couple keys. I have also been thinking of some Swedging pliers multi hole variety as these might be able to be used on more keys.

I am looking to only get one tool for now and get another later. What would you recommend I get first and next?

Thanks in advance!
