A swaging tool is a device used to shape or form metal by applying pressure. It works by compressing the material, allowing it to take on a desired shape or size without cutting or removing any material. This process is commonly used in metalworking and can be applied to various materials, including copper, aluminum, and steel. Swaging tools come in different forms, such as hand-held tools or larger machines, depending on the application. They are often used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction to create components like fittings, connectors, and other specialized parts.
