Alma,

    I attended a metal corrigation workshop with Trish McAleer. She had
    used an industrial tube wringer. She said it worked well but the
    bottom (part that goes into the vise) had collasped over time and
    use. I looked at it and thought a body could put a small wooden piece
    between the aluminum halves to give it more stability in the vise and
    extend the life of the tool. I tend to start with less expensieve
    tools and find out if I really would use it enough to justify the
    expense. I've got some silver foil that I want to try. Let me know
    how your earings turn out
