Looking for a tool

There is a tool that I saw on someones web page the other day but I cant find it again.

It was a vice mounted tool that would put a bead near the end of a tube to keep intercooler tubing from comming apart.

Has anyone seen one of these, know what they are called or know where to get one?

I believe you are in need of a bead roller...

What you are looking for is a bead roller. You probably already knew that...

Anyways, there are a few available. Here are some links...
http://209.238.153.119/beadform.html -specifically for metal tubing, like you probably need. A little fancy
http://www.pro-tools.com/prospecial_rollstes.htm -another one for tubing. Simpler design...
