what size copper does this expand? I primarily work with 3/8 to 7/8 and occasionally 1 1/8.

This kit will do those sizes. If you want 5/16", 1 3/8" or 1 5/8" you wil have to order them seprately and they aren't cheap!

The kit comes with 3/8,1/2,5/8,3/4,7/8,1 1/8 expander's. Will not expand hard copper unless it's annealed first. I use this often and very seldom use fittings anymore ..Recommend the bender also..Great stuff. It has paid for itself in fittings and silfoss.

I use my 3/8 on the job working on heavy equipment, it's a great tool. I think the 3/8 is a great choice for home use also.

1-1/8 is the largest that is recommended. I have not had much luck with this tool, it's not up to usual Bosch standards

I wouldn't go more than 3/8"... typical for 1/8 - 1/4 - 3/8 (maybe 1/2" if soft)

I would use 3/8". You will need to purchase a barbed tube fitting 3/8" tube x 1/2 npt

No, 5/16-18 is the largest that comes with the kit. I am unaware of any additional tooling that will allow 3/8.

The 3/8" designates the diameter of the chuck, or the place you insert the drill bit. This size will accomodate bits from 1/16" up to 3/8" and everything in between. You can generally buy a group of from 7 to 10 bits in one pack and they generally run 1/16" to 3/8". You can also get special bits that will fit a 3/8" chuck but can drill larger size holes, such as up to a half inch...even larger. Welcome to the "do it yourself" world.

Up to 7/16" use a 3/8 shank. 1/2 and 9/16 use 1/2" shank. 5/8 and 11/16 use a 5/8" shank. 3/4 uses a 3/4" shank.

7/8" will be perfect - (1 inch would work, but will leave a lot more space around the beer shank than you might want.)

I'm not sure. It is square on the end so does not fit tightly but would probably work with both. I use 3/8. It works great but does not fit quite right and has to be tightened occasionally. I use it to mix wet, thick clay and it does a good job.

3/32" is narrower than 1/8" (4/32"), so you can use 3/32 cogs or chainrings with a 1/8 chain, but not the other way round; consequently, I use a 1/4" chain just to be on the safe side.........and it runs smoothly and quietly.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

I do not have it in front of me, but I believe 1-1/8" max capacity is correct; it is primarily for copper pipes.

So that I could get a diameter that worked, I ordered the package of three. I don't know the diameter that I ended up using, but it probably is the 7/8" diameter. Mine has ridges on the side.

Its a little big I tried it on my kettle last night, look for a 1 inch rubber stopper then you can drill it for the size of the copper tube you'll use for the chilling coil

I can't remember how big the openings are because I don't have the amp anymore, however, if you already have 8 ran, might as well just use it. Trim the wire to size if you need to. Bigger is better than smaller

I can't be super sure about the expansion of half an inch - I used that thing I think about 2 years ago. I do still have two 2" ones in my hand. They start as about 1-29/32" - you know between 1/8" - 1/16" less than 2". It does expand quite a bit. I shot some pictures if you want I can email to you. I think to play safe, give General Wire Spring Company a call. They are at 1101 Thompson Ave, McKees Rocks, PA 15136 (412) 771-6300. I hope they give you some good advice. Good luck.
