Although we sell the tools individually, most people do chose to purchase them as a set.
-To form a female Joint, use the ground joint reamer for 90% of the shaping and the brass finishing tool for the final touch up and fine tuning. The finishing tool should be used in a quick forming step while marvering. Use the plug while the glass is slightly molten and remove before the orange glow is completely gone. REMEMBER, always remove while still molten to avoid checking or sticking.
-To form male joint simply pull your tubing to a diameter that will fit the tool. Heat a section long enough for a whole joint to be at a point of being white hot, place inside the tool and firmly blow. Bring it out to check the size and simply open the end of the tube.
