    Hmmm... I wonder if a worn-out spade bit would be strong enough to be repurposed into just such a tool?

    Also seems like the bend shown in that piece of tubing would be necessary in order to maintain control as the tool spins and pulls on the tube.

    Swaging the tubing would greatly reduce the number of connections in the plumbing
