Going to try fitting a larger washer see if 1/4 of the pipe can be done at a time rather that just small bit's

Couldn't you just buy beaded pipes? Much easier!

Yeah, until you want to cut them down to the size you need then you loose your bead.

Don't use a larger washer, unless you're popeye. You'll just make it really difficult to form the bead.

the other change I would say is the 'pinch' point is not far enough allong the grip jaws...meaning you are losing a lot of the leverage of the grips.

see that ebay one...washer is right on the end...makes it a lot easier

Err yeah, but the pipe beaded (made from a combine bearing race and the end of a 9mm plunger iirc?! ) was welded to the clamps of the original vice for well over 2 years and pissed everyone off incessantly until you got the other vice!!!!!!
